“I am seething within and my heart is troubled and cannot rest;
Days of affliction come to meet me.
²⁸ 
“I go about mourning without comfort [my skin blackened by disease, not by the heat of the sun];
I stand up in the assembly and cry out for help.
²⁹ 
“I am a brother to [howling] jackals,
And a companion to ostriches [which scream dismally].
