My knees are weak because I am hungry.\par I am losing weight and becoming thin.\par
“I am so thin,\par my skin hangs loose on my bones.\par I have little life left in me.\par
My strength is gone,\par like water poured out on the ground.\par My bones have separated.\par My courage is gone! {\cf2\super [126]} \par
I cry and fast, {\cf2\super [402]} \par and they make fun of me for it.\par
I wear rough cloth to show my sadness,\par and people tell jokes about me.\par
Jesus ate nothing for 40 days and nights. After this, he was very hungry.
I have done hard and tiring work, and many times I did not sleep. I have been hungry and thirsty. Many times I have been without food. I have been cold and without clothes.
You have become weak. So make yourselves strong again.
