When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through 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, my bones became brittle from my groaning 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.

I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.

They haven’t cried to me with their heart, but they howl on their beds. They assemble themselves for grain and new wine. They turn away from me.

My skin grows black and peels from me. My bones are burned with heat.

Yes, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer.

He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.

Let me hear joy and gladness, that the bones which you have broken may rejoice.

Your sons have fainted. They lie at the head of all the streets, like an antelope in a net. They are full of Yahweh’s wrath, the rebuke of your God.

Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am in distress. My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.For my life is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away.

For my sighing comes before I eat. My groanings are poured out like water.

In the night season my bones are pierced in me, and the pains that gnaw me take no rest.

So David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, in the day that the Philistines killed Saul in Gilboa;and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son. They also gathered the bones of those who were hanged.They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. After that, God answered prayer for the land.

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

Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am faint. Yahweh, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.He wanted to fill his belly with the husks that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.

They heard Yahweh God’s voice walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him,“ Where are you?”The man said,“ I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; so I hid myself.”God said,“ Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”The man said,“ The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”Yahweh God said to the woman,“ What have you done?” The woman said,“ The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”Yahweh God said to the serpent,“ Because you have done this, you are cursed above all livestock, and above every animal of the field. You shall go on your belly and you shall 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 bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.”To the woman he said,“ I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. You will bear children in pain. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”To Adam he said,“ Because you have listened to your wife’s voice, and ate from the tree, about which I commanded you, saying,‘ You shall not eat of it,’ the ground is cursed for your sake. You will eat from it with much labor all the days of your life.It will yield thorns and thistles to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.You will eat bread by the sweat of your face until you return to the ground, for you were taken out of it. For you are dust, and you shall return to dust.”

“ I have surely heard Ephraim grieving thus,‘ You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as an untrained calf. Turn me, and I will be turned; for you are Yahweh my God.Surely after that I was turned. I repented. After that I was instructed. I struck my thigh. I was ashamed, yes, even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth.’

He has made my flesh and my skin old. He has broken my bones.

Judah has gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude. She dwells among the nations. She finds no rest. All her persecutors overtook her within the straits.

We all roar like bears and moan bitterly like doves. We look for justice, but there is none, for salvation, but it is far off from us.

When the mourning was past, David sent and took her home to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased Yahweh.Yahweh sent Nathan to David. He came to him, and said to him,“ There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.The rich man had very many flocks and herds,but the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and raised. It grew up together with him, and with his children. It ate of his own food, drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was like a daughter to him.A traveler came to the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to prepare for the wayfaring man who had come to him, but took the poor man’s lamb, and prepared it for the man who had come to him.”David’s anger burned hot against the man, and he said to Nathan,“ As Yahweh lives, the man who has done this deserves to die!He must restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity!”Nathan said to David,“ You are the man. This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says:‘ I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul.I gave you your master’s house, and your master’s wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that would have been too little, I would have added to you many more such things.Why have you despised Yahweh’s word, to do that which is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.Now therefore the sword will never depart from your house, because you have despised me, and have taken Uriah the Hittite’s wife to be your wife.’“ This is what Yahweh says:‘ Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes, and give them to your neighbor, and he will lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.For you did this secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.’”

For my days consume away like smoke. My bones are burned as a torch.My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread.By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones stick to my skin.

I was angry because of the iniquity of his covetousness and struck him. I hid myself and was angry; and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
