For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke, yet I have not forgotten your statutes.
My skin turns black and falls from me, and my bones burn with heat.
I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant, for I do not forget your commandments.
Though the cords of the wicked ensnare me, I do not forget your law.
I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word.
For my days pass away like smoke, and my bones burn like a furnace. My heart is struck down like grass and has withered; I forget to eat my bread.
my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws; you lay me in the dust of death.
