“I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.”
My knees are weak through fasting; my body has become gaunt. The physical toll of suffering manifests in bodily weakness and emaciation ('knees weak,' 'body gaunt'). The mention of 'fasting' suggests spiritual discipline or distress-induced loss of appetite. This verse portrays the speaker's body as marked by suffering.
