25. I cried for those who were in trouble;I have been very sad for poor people.
26. But when I hoped for good, only evil came to me;when I looked for light, darkness came.
27. I never stop being upset;days of suffering are ahead of me.
28. I have turned black, but not by the sun.I stand up in public and cry for help.
29. I have become a brother to wild dogsand a friend to ostriches.
30. My skin has become black and peels off,as my body burns with fever.
31. My harp is tuned to sing a sad song,and my flute is tuned to moaning.
