My knees give way because I have been fasting. My body has become lean, without any fat.
I am skin and bones, and I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax. It has melted within me.
I cried and fasted, but I was insulted for it.
I dressed myself in sackcloth, but I became the object of ridicule.
Jesus did not eat anything for 40 days and 40 nights. At the end of that time, he was hungry.
Because I’ve had to work so hard, I’ve often gone without sleep, been hungry and thirsty, and gone without food and without proper clothes during cold weather.
Strengthen your tired arms and weak knees.
