But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I afflicted my soul with fasting; And my prayer returned into mine own bosom.

But as for me, when they were ill I put on the clothing of sorrow: I went without food and was sad, and my prayer came back again to my heart.

Εγω δε, οτε αυτοι ησαν εν θλιψει, ενεδυομην σακκον· εταπεινωσα εν νηστεια την ψυχην μου· και η προσευχη μου επεστρεφεν εις τον κολπον μου.

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
