Psalm 119:83; Lamentations 4:8; Lamentations 5:10

83  For I have ebecome like a fwineskin in the smoke,

yet I have not forgotten your statutes.


zNow their face is blacker than soot;

they are not recognized in the streets;

their skin has shriveled on their bones;

it has become as dry as wood.


10  kOur skin is hot as an oven

with lthe burning heat of famine.
