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