⁸ You have shriveled me up—and it has become a witness;
    my gauntness^(A) rises up and testifies against me.^(B)

¹⁷ You bring new witnesses against me^(A)
    and increase your anger toward me;^(B)
    your forces come against me wave upon wave.^(C)

²⁰ I am nothing but skin and bones;^(A)
    I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.^[a]

²⁴ My knees give^(A) way from fasting;^(B)
    my body is thin and gaunt.^(C)

¹⁶ From the ends of the earth^(A) we hear singing:^(B)
    “Glory^(C) to the Righteous One.”^(D)

But I said, “I waste away, I waste away!^(E)
    Woe^(F) to me!
The treacherous^(G) betray!
    With treachery the treacherous betray!^(H)”

¹⁶ Therefore, the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
    will send a wasting disease^(A) upon his sturdy warriors;^(B)
under his pomp^(C) a fire^(D) will be kindled
    like a blazing flame.

¹⁵ So he gave them^(A) what they asked for,
    but sent a wasting disease^(B) among them.
