My bone clings to my skin and to my flesh, and I have escaped with the skin of my teeth.
I am poured out like water, and all My bones are spread apart; My heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of My bowels.

I also made sackcloth my clothing, and I became a proverb to them.
And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He was afterwards hungry.
I have been in hardship and toil; often in watchings; in hunger and thirst; often in fastings; in cold and nakedness;
Because of this, straighten up the hands which hang down and the enfeebled knees.
