25 Once, I wept over him who was afflicted, and my soul had compassion on the poor.
26 I expected good things, but evil things have come to me. I stood ready for light, yet darkness burst forth.
27 My insides have seethed, without any rest, for the days of affliction have prevented it.
28 I went forth mourning, without anger, and rising up, I cried out in confusion.
29 I was the brother of snakes, and the companion of ostriches.
