In context

27My belly boiled, and would not cease: The days of poverty prevented me.

28I went mourning without restraint: And I have stood and cried out in the assembly.

— Job 30:29 —

30And my skin has been greatly blackened, And my bones are burned with heat.

31My harp also has been turned into mourning, And my song into my weeping.
