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

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

I am exhausted and completely crushed. My groans come from an anguished heart.

My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far away when I groan for help?

Because of your anger, my whole body is sick; my health is broken because of my sins.

They do not cry out to me with sincere hearts. Instead, they sit on their couches and wail. They cut themselves, begging foreign gods for grain and new wine, and they turn away from me.

My skin has turned dark, and my bones burn with fever.

And though I cry and shout, he has shut out my prayers.

People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy.

Oh, give me back my joy again; you have broken me— now let me rejoice.

For your children have fainted and lie in the streets, helpless as antelopes caught in a net. The Lord has poured out his fury; God has rebuked them.

Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am in distress. Tears blur my eyes. My body and soul are withering away.I am dying from grief; my years are shortened by sadness. Sin has drained my strength; I am wasting away from within.

I cannot eat for sighing; my groans pour out like water.

At night my bones are filled with pain, which gnaws at me relentlessly.

he went to the people of Jabesh gilead and retrieved the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan.( When the Philistines had killed Saul and Jonathan on Mount Gilboa, the people of Jabesh gilead stole their bodies from the public square of Beth shan, where the Philistines had hung them.)So David obtained the bones of Saul and Jonathan, as well as the bones of the men the Gibeonites had executed.Then the king ordered that they bury the bones in the tomb of Kish, Saul’s father, at the town of Zela in the land of Benjamin. After that, God ended the famine in the land.

Then they took their bones and buried them beneath the tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and they fasted for seven days.

Have compassion on me, Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.

He persuaded a local farmer to hire him, and the man sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.The young man became so hungry that even the pods he was feeding the pigs looked good to him. But no one gave him anything.

When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the Lord God walking about in the garden. So they hid from the Lord God among the trees.Then the Lord God called to the man,“ Where are you?”He replied,“ I heard you walking in the garden, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked.”“ Who told you that you were naked?” the Lord God asked.“ Have you eaten from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat?”The man replied,“ It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit, and I ate it.”Then the Lord God asked the woman,“ What have you done?”“ The serpent deceived me,” she replied.“ That’s why I ate it.”Then the Lord God said to the serpent,“ Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all animals, domestic and wild. You will crawl on your belly, groveling in the dust as long as you live.And I will cause hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.”Then he said to the woman,“ I will sharpen the pain of your pregnancy, and in pain you will give birth. And you will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you.”And to the man he said,“ Since you listened to your wife and ate from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat, the ground is cursed because of you. All your life you will struggle to scratch a living from it.It will grow thorns and thistles for you, though you will eat of its grains.By the sweat of your brow will you have food to eat until you return to the ground from which you were made. For you were made from dust, and to dust you will return.”

I have heard Israel saying,‘ You disciplined me severely, like a calf that needs training for the yoke. Turn me again to you and restore me, for you alone are the Lord my God.I turned away from God, but then I was sorry. I kicked myself for my stupidity! I was thoroughly ashamed of all I did in my younger days.’

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

Judah has been led away into captivity, oppressed with cruel slavery. She lives among foreign nations and has no place of rest. Her enemies have chased her down, and she has nowhere to turn.

We growl like hungry bears; we moan like mournful doves. We look for justice, but it never comes. We look for rescue, but it is far away from us.

When the period of mourning was over, David sent for her and brought her to the palace, and she became one of his wives. Then she gave birth to a son. But the Lord was displeased with what David had done.So the Lord sent Nathan the prophet to tell David this story:“ There were two men in a certain town. One was rich, and one was poor.The rich man owned a great many sheep and cattle.The poor man owned nothing but one little lamb he had bought. He raised that little lamb, and it grew up with his children. It ate from the man’s own plate and drank from his cup. He cuddled it in his arms like a baby daughter.One day a guest arrived at the home of the rich man. But instead of killing an animal from his own flock or herd, he took the poor man’s lamb and killed it and prepared it for his guest.”David was furious.“ As surely as the Lord lives,” he vowed,“ any man who would do such a thing deserves to die!He must repay four lambs to the poor man for the one he stole and for having no pity.”Then Nathan said to David,“ You are that man! The Lord, the God of Israel, says: I anointed you king of Israel and saved you from the power of Saul.I gave you your master’s house and his wives and the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. And if that had not been enough, I would have given you much, much more.Why, then, have you despised the word of the Lord and done this horrible deed? For you have murdered Uriah the Hittite with the sword of the Ammonites and stolen his wife.From this time on, your family will live by the sword because you have despised me by taking Uriah’s wife to be your own.“ This is what the Lord says: Because of what you have done, I will cause your own household to rebel against you. I will give your wives to another man before your very eyes, and he will go to bed with them in public view.You did it secretly, but I will make this happen to you openly in the sight of all Israel.”

For my days disappear like smoke, and my bones burn like red hot coals.My heart is sick, withered like grass, and I have lost my appetite.Because of my groaning, I am reduced to skin and bones.

I was angry, so I punished these greedy people. I withdrew from them, but they kept going on their own stubborn way.
