God caused my skin and flesh to waste away, and he crushed my bones.
My skin is so parched, that it peels right off, and my bones are burning.
I have no more strength than a few drops of water. All my bones are out of joint; my heart is like melted wax.
Before I confessed my sins, my bones felt limp, and I groaned all day long.
Let me be happy and joyful! You crushed my bones, now let them celebrate.
Until morning came, I thought you would crush my bones just like a hungry lion; both night and day you make a wreck of me.
Israel is a flock of sheep scattered by hungry lions. The king of Assyria first gobbled Israel up. Then Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylonia, crunched on Israel's bones.
