Psalm 119:83
Though I am like a wineskin dried up by smoke, I do not forget Your statutes.
For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.
For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke. I don’t forget your statutes.
For I am become like a wine-skin in the smoke; Yet do I not forget thy statutes.

- like a bottle in the smoke
- As the bottles in the East are made of skin, it is evident that one of these hung up in the smoke must soon be parched, shrivelled up, lose all its strength, and become unsightly and useless. Thus the Psalmist appeared to himself to have become useless and despicable, through the exhausted state of his body and mind, by long bodily afflictions and mental distress.
