Er hat mir Fleisch und Haut alt gemacht und mein Gebein zerschlagen.
Hizo envejecer mi carne y mi piel; quebrantó mis huesos.
Ha consumido mi carne y mi piel; ha quebrado mis huesos.
Il a fait dépérir ma chair et ma peau, Il a brisé mes os.
Egli ha fatta invecchiar la mia carne, e la mia pelle; Egli mi ha fiaccate le ossa.
Fez envelhecer a minha carne e a minha pele, quebrou os meus ossos.
他使我皮肉枯乾, 折斷我的骨頭。
