25. God, you know that I cried for those who were in trouble. You know that I mourned for the poor.
26. But when I hoped for good, trouble came instead. When I looked for light, darkness came.
27. I constantly feel upset. And my suffering has only just begun.
28. I am always sad and depressed, without any relief. I stand up in the public meeting and cry for help,
29. making sad sounds like the wild dogs, like the ostriches in the desert.
30. My skin is burned and peeling away. My body is hot with fever.
