Clementine Vulgate 1598

Sicut aqua effusus sum, et dispersa sunt omnia ossa mea: factum est cor meum tamquam cera liquescens in medio ventris mei.

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are loosened: my heart in the midst of my belly is become like melting wax.

I am poured out like water; and all my bones are scattered. My heart is become like wax melting in the midst of my bowels.

My strength is dried up, like a potsherd; and my tongue is glued to my throat; and you have brought me down to the dust of death.
