Wilt thou put a rush-rope into his nose, and pierce his jaw with a spike?

but put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and see if he will not curse thee to thy face!

Then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder-blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone!

And I broke the jaws of the unrighteous, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.

Even so would he have allured thee out of the jaws of distress into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and the supply of thy table would be full of fatness.

Who can uncover the surface of his garment? who can come within his double jaws?

Fear came on me, and trembling, and made all my bones to shake;

So that my soul chooseth strangling, death, rather than my bones.

Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews;

My bones cleave to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.

His bones were full of his youthful strength; but it shall lie down with him in the dust.

His sides are full of fat, and the marrow of his bones is moistened;

The night pierceth through my bones and detacheth them from me, and my gnawing pains take no rest:

My skin is become black and falleth off me, and my bones are parched with heat.

He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and with constant strife in his bones;

His flesh is consumed away from view, and his bones that were not seen stick out;

His bones are tubes of bronze, his members are like bars of iron.
