Lamentations 3:4

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

He wasted away my flesh and my skin; he broke my bones.

See the chapter Copy

My skin was black from above me, and my bones burnt from heat

I was poured out as water, and all my bones were sundered; my heart was as wax being melted in the midst of my bowels.

If I was silent, my bones fell away in my groaning all the day.

Thou wilt cause me to hear joy and gladness; the bones thou didst break shall rejoice.

I set till the morning, as the lion thus will he break all my bones: from the day even to the night thou wilt finish me.

Israel a scattered sheep; the lions thrust away: first the king of Assur consumed him; and the last this Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel bound him fast
