1 I am the man that thorowe the rodde of his wrath haue experience of miserie. 2 He droue me foorth and led me, yea into darknesse, but not into light. 3 Against me is he turned, he turneth his hande dayly against me. 4 My flesh and my skinne hath he made olde, and my bones hath he bruised. 5 He hath buylded rounde about me, and closed me in with gall and trauaile. 6 He hath set me in darknesse, as they that be dead for euer. 7 He hath so hedged me in, that I can not get out, and hath layde heauie linkes vpon me. 8 Though I crye and call pitiously, yet heareth he not my prayer. 9 He hath stopped vp my wayes with foure squared stones, and made my pathes crooked. 10 He layeth wayte for me lyke a beare, and as a lion in a hole.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
My flesh and my skin hath he made old,.... His flesh with blows, and his skin with smiting, as the Targum; his flesh was so emaciated, and his skin so withered and wrinkled, that he looked like an old man; as our Lord, when little more than thirty years of age, what with his sorrows and troubles, looked like one about fifty:
he hath broken my bones; that is, his strength was greatly weakened, which lay in his bones; and he could not stir to help himself, any more than a man whose bones are broken; and was in as much pain and distress as if this had been his case; otherwise it was not literally true, either of the Jews, or of Jeremiah, or of Christ.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Made old - Or, wasted: his strength slowly wasted as he pined away in sorrow.
He hath broken my bones - This clause completes the representation of the sufferer’s physical agonies. Here the idea is that of acute pain.
