I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.

Verse 28 is found in chapter 30 of Job. Job returns to physical pain and states that his body and life are wasting away. He describes God as the one to whom he cries without receiving an answer, using images of wind and destruction. The lament preserves the book’s fundamental tension: Job continues speaking to God even though he feels that God remains silent before his request.

Ich gehe schwarz einher, und brennt mich doch die Sonne nicht; ich stehe auf in der Gemeinde und schreie.
Denegrido ando, y no por el sol: Levantádome he en la congregación, y clamado.
Ando ennegrecido, pero no por el sol; me levanto en la asamblea y clamo por ayuda.
Je marche noirci, mais non par le soleil; Je me lève en pleine assemblée, et je crie.
Io vo bruno attorno, non già del sole; Io mi levo in pien popolo, e grido.
Denegrido ando, porém não do sol; levantando-me na congregação, clamo por socorro.
我在陰暗中行走,沒有日光 , 我在會眾中站立求救。
