38:3 My whole body is sick because of your judgment; 1
I am deprived of health because of my sin. 2
38:4 For my sins overwhelm me; 3
like a heavy load, they are too much for me to bear.
38:5 My wounds 4 are infected and starting to smell, 5
because of my foolish sins. 6
38:6 I am dazed 7 and completely humiliated; 8
all day long I walk around mourning.
38:7 For I am overcome with shame 9
and my whole body is sick. 10
38:8 I am numb with pain and severely battered; 11
I groan loudly because of the anxiety I feel. 12
38:9 O Lord, you understand my heart’s desire; 13
my groaning is not hidden from you.
38:10 My heart beats quickly;
my strength leaves me;
I can hardly see. 14
