13 They open their mouths at me
    like a lion ripping and roaring!
14 I’m poured out like water.
    All my bones have fallen apart.
        My heart is like wax;
        it melts inside me.
15 My strength is dried up
    like a piece of broken pottery.
My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;
    you’ve set me down in the dirt of death.

    open their mouths wide(C) against me.
14 I am poured out like water,
    and all my bones are out of joint.(D)
My heart has turned to wax;(E)
    it has melted(F) within me.
15 My mouth[a] is dried up like a potsherd,(G)
    and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;(H)
    you lay me in the dust(I) of death.
