When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.

我闭口不认罪的时候，因终日唉哼而骨头枯干。

我闭口不认罪的时候，因终日呻吟而骨头枯干。

我闭口不认罪的时候，因终日呻吟而骨头枯干。

我默然不语、拒绝认罪的时候，就因整日哀叹而身心疲惫。

我闭口不认罪的时候，就整天唉哼，以致骨头衰残。

我保持沉默、不认罪的时候，就因终日哀号而骨头衰朽；

我閉口不認罪的時候，因終日唉哼而骨頭枯乾。

我閉口不認罪的時候，因終日呻吟而骨頭枯乾。

我閉口不認罪的時候，因終日呻吟而骨頭枯乾。

我默然不語、拒絕認罪的時候，就因整日哀歎而身心疲憊。

我閉口不認罪的時候，就整天唉哼，以致骨頭衰殘。

我閉口不認罪時，我的骨頭都因終日哀哼而磨損。

我保持沉默、不認罪的時候，就因終日哀號而骨頭衰朽；

我緘默時、終日欷歔、我骨衰殘兮、

我不言己罪、終日欷歔、筋骨漸衰、

我緘默未認己罪、終日哀號、筋骨衰殘、

我昔有罪。不肯自招。呻吟不輟。生趣日消。

When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.

When I kept silent about my sin, my body became weak because I groaned all day long.

For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.

When I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away, and I groaned all day long.

When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away Through my groaning all day long.

When I kept silent, my bones grew old Through my groaning all the day long.

When I kept silence, my bones wasted away Through my groaning all the day long.

When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.

When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.

When I refused to confess my sin, my whole body wasted away, while I groaned in pain all day long.

When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.

I am faint and severely crushed; I groan because of the anguish of my heart.

My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far from my deliverance and from my words of groaning?

There is no soundness in my body because of your indignation; there is no health in my bones because of my sin.

They do not cry to me from their hearts; rather, they wail on their beds. They slash themselves for grain and new wine; they turn away from me.

My skin blackens and flakes off, and my bones burn with fever.

Even when I cry out and plead for help, he blocks out my prayer.

The one who conceals his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them will find mercy.

Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.

Your children have fainted; they lie at the head of every street like an antelope in a net. They are full of the LORD’s fury, the rebuke of your God.

Be gracious to me, LORD, because I am in distress; my eyes are worn out from frustration— my whole being as well.Indeed, my life is consumed with grief and my years with groaning; my strength has failed because of my iniquity, and my bones waste away.

I sigh when food is put before me, and my groans pour out like water.

Night pierces my bones, but my gnawing pains never rest.

he went and got the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from the citizens of Jabesh-gilead. They had stolen them from the public square of Beth-shan where the Philistines had hung the bodies the day the Philistines killed Saul at Gilboa.David had the bones brought from there. They gathered up the bones of Saul’s family who had been hangedand buried the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan at Zela in the land of Benjamin in the tomb of Saul’s father Kish. They did everything the king commanded. After this, God was receptive to prayer for the land.

Afterward, they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh and fasted seven days.

Be gracious to me, LORD, for I am weak; heal me, LORD, for my bones are shaking;

Then he went to work for one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.He longed to eat his fill from the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one would give him anything.

Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden.So the LORD God called out to the man and said to him,“ Where are you?”And he said,“ I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.”Then he asked,“ Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”The man replied,“ The woman you gave to be with me— she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate.”So the LORD God asked the woman,“ What have you done?” And the woman said,“ The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”So the LORD God said to the serpent: Because you have done this, you are cursed more than any livestock and more than any wild animal. You will move on your belly and eat dust all the days of your life.I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.He said to the woman: I will intensify your labor pains; you will bear children with painful effort. Your desire will be for your husband, yet he will rule over you.And he said to the man,“ Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you,‘ Do not eat from it’: The ground is cursed because of you. You will eat from it by means of painful labor all the days of your life.It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.You will eat bread by the sweat of your brow until you return to the ground, since you were taken from it. For you are dust, and you will return to dust.”

I have surely heard Ephraim moaning,“ You disciplined me, and I have been disciplined like an untrained calf. Take me back, so that I can return, for you, LORD, are my God.After my return, I felt regret; After I was instructed, I struck my thigh in grief. I was ashamed and humiliated because I bore the disgrace of my youth.”

He has worn away my flesh and skin; he has broken my bones.

Judah has gone into exile following affliction and harsh slavery; she lives among the nations but finds no place to rest. All her pursuers have overtaken her in narrow places.

We all growl like bears and moan like doves. We hope for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far from us.

When the time of mourning ended, David had her brought to his house. She became his wife and bore him a son. However, the LORD considered what David had done to be evil.So the LORD sent Nathan to David. When he arrived, he said to him: There were two men in a certain city, one rich and the other poor.The rich man had very large flocks and herds,but the poor man had nothing except one small ewe lamb that he had bought. He raised her, and she grew up with him and with his children. From his meager food she would eat, from his cup she would drink, and in his arms she would sleep. She was like a daughter to him.Now a traveler came to the rich man, but the rich man could not bring himself to take one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare for the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for his guest.David was infuriated with the man and said to Nathan,“ As the LORD lives, the man who did this deserves to die!Because he has done this thing and shown no pity, he must pay four lambs for that lamb.”Nathan replied to David,“ You are the man! This is what the LORD God of Israel says:‘ I anointed you king over Israel, and I rescued you from Saul.I gave your master’s house to you and your master’s wives into your arms, and I gave you the house of Israel and Judah, and if that was not enough, I would have given you even more.Why then have you despised the LORD’s command by doing what I consider evil? You struck down Uriah the Hethite with the sword and took his wife as your own wife— you murdered him with the Ammonite’s sword.Now therefore, the sword will never leave your house because you despised me and took the wife of Uriah the Hethite to be your own wife.’“ This is what the LORD says,‘ I am going to bring disaster on you from your own family: I will take your wives and give them to another before your very eyes, and he will sleep with them in broad daylight.You acted in secret, but I will do this before all Israel and in broad daylight.’”

For my days vanish like smoke, and my bones burn like a furnace.My heart is suffering, withered like grass; I even forget to eat my food.Because of the sound of my groaning, my flesh sticks to my bones.

Because of his sinful greed I was angry, so I struck him; I was angry and hid; but he went on turning back to the desires of his heart.
