New American Standard Bible
"You have shriveled me up, It has become a witness; And my leanness rises up against me, It testifies to my face.

King James Bible
And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
You have shriveled me up--it has become a witness; My frailty rises up against me and testifies to my face.

And thou hast, etc. (Some render, 'thou has fettered me,' as kamat signifies in Arabic; but as it signifies in Syriac to be wrinkled, the common version seems, from the connexion, to be more correct; and if Job's disease were the elephantiasis, these words would apply most forcibly to the wrinkled state of the skin in that disorder.)
