Job 30:29

Tree of Life Version

I have become a brother to jackals, and a companion to ostriches.

See the chapter Copy

Concerning this let me lament and howl. Let me walk barefoot and naked. I will make a howl like jackals and a mourning like ostriches.

Because of the sound of my groaning, my bones cling to my flesh.

and Esau I hated. I made his hills a wasteland and gave his inheritance to jackals of the wilderness.”

if I say to the pit, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ or ‘My sister,’

Thorns will come up in its palaces, nettles and thistles in its fortresses. It will be a haunt of jackals, an abode for ostriches.

I am like a pelican of the desert, like an owl of the waste places.
