Job 30:29

Job Says: I Am Being Punished By God

²⁸
“I go about mourning without comfort [my skin blackened by disease, not by the heat of the sun];
I stand up in the assembly and cry out for help.
²⁹ 
“I am a brother to [howling] jackals,
And a companion to ostriches [which scream dismally].
³⁰
“My skin falls from me in blackened flakes,
And my bones are burned with fever.

Job

Micah 1:8

Because of this I [Micah] must lament (mourn over with expressions of grief) and wail,
I must go barefoot and naked [without outer garments as if robbed];
I must wail like the jackals
And lament [with a loud, mournful cry] like the ostriches.

Psalm 102:6

I am like a [mournful] vulture of the wilderness;
I am like a [desolate] owl of the wasteland.

If I call out to the pit (grave), ‘You are my father’;
And to the worm [that feeds on decay], ‘You are my mother and my sister [because I will soon be closest to you],’

Yet You have [distressingly] crushed us in the place of jackals
And covered us with [the deep darkness of] the shadow of death.

And their houses will be full of owls;
Ostriches also will live there, and wild goats will dance there.

I coo like a dove.
My eyes look wistfully upward;
O Lord, I am oppressed, take my side and be my security.
