My knees are weak from fasting, and I have grown thin.
I am nothing but skin and bones; I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
My strength is gone, like water poured out onto the ground, and my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax; it has melted inside me.
When I cry and fast, they make fun of me.
When I wear clothes of sadness, they joke about me.
Jesus fasted for forty 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, and many times I have been without food. I have been cold and without clothes.
You have become weak, so make yourselves strong again.
