Charles Ellicott Commentary Lamentations 3:4

"My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones." — Lamentations 3:4 (ASV)

Hath he made old. —Better, He has wasted, the verb describing the wear and tear of life rather than the effects of age. “Flesh,” “skin,” “bones,” are grouped together as representing the whole being of the mourner.
