13 Like ·hungry [rending; L tearing their prey], roaring lions
    they open their mouths at me.
14 My strength is gone,
    like water poured out onto the ground,
    and my bones are out of joint.
My heart is like wax [C weak, formless];
    it has melted inside me.
15 My strength has dried up like a ·clay pot [potsherd],
    and my tongue sticks to the top of my mouth.
    You laid me in the dust 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.
