¹³ They open their mouths like lions!
    They are ready to eat me!
They are like lions that tear their food into pieces.
¹⁴ My strength has gone,
    like water that is poured away.
My bones do not join together properly.
I feel weak inside
    and hope has disappeared.
¹⁵ My mouth has become dry like a piece of a broken pot.
    My tongue sticks to my mouth.
You have left me down in the dirt,
    as good as dead!
