¹⁰ When I wept and humbled^[a] my soul with fasting,
    it became my reproach.

²⁴ My knees are weak ^(A)through fasting;
    my ^(B)body has become gaunt, with no fat.
²⁵ I am ^(C)an object of scorn to my accusers;
    when they see me, they ^(D)wag their heads.

⁸ All the day my enemies taunt me;
    those who ^(A)deride me ^(B)use my name for a curse.
⁹ For I eat ashes like bread
    and ^(C)mingle tears with my drink,

¹³ But I, ^(A)when they were sick—
    I ^(B)wore sackcloth;
    I ^(C)afflicted myself with fasting;
I prayed ^(D)with head bowed^[a] on my chest.
