Roaring lions that tear their prey open their mouths against me. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted within me. My mouth is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death. Dogs surround me, a pack of villains encircles me; they pierce my hand and my feet. All my bones are on display; people stare and gloat over me. They divide my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment.
