⁴ My heart is stricken and withered like grass,
So that I forget to eat my bread.
⁵ Because of the sound of my groaning
My bones cling to my ^[a]skin.

¹⁰ When I wept and chastened my soul with fasting,
That became my reproach.

²⁴ My ^(A)knees are weak through fasting,
And my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness.
²⁵ I also have become ^(B)a reproach to them;
When they look at me, ^(C)they shake their heads.
