job 30:28 I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.

job 30:28 "I go about mourning without comfort; I stand up in the assembly [and] cry out for help.

28. mourning--rather, I move about blackened, though not by the sun; that is, whereas many are blackened by the sun, I am, by the heat of God's wrath (so "boiled," Job 30:27); the elephantiasis covering me with blackness of skin (Job 30:30), as with the garb of mourning (Jer 14:2). This striking enigmatic form of Hebrew expression occurs, Isa 29:9.
stood up--as an innocent man crying for justice in an assembled court (Job 30:20).

job 30:28 "I go about mourning without comfort; I stand up in the assembly [and] cry out for help.
