I have led you through the desert for forty years. Your clothing has not worn out ¹  nor have your sandals ²  deteriorated.

they did something clever. They collected some provisions ¹  and put worn-out sacks on their donkeys, along with worn-out wineskins that were ripped and patched.

They had worn-out, patched sandals on their feet and dressed in worn-out clothes. All their bread ¹  was dry and hard. ² 

Then I said about the one worn out by adultery, ‘Now they will commit immoral acts with her.’

These wineskins we filled were brand new, but look how they have ripped. Our clothes and sandals have worn out because it has been a very long journey.”

So Ebed Melech took the men with him and went to a room under the treasure room in the palace. ¹  He got some worn-out clothes and old rags ²  from there and let them down by ropes to Jeremiah in the cistern.

The words of Agur, the son of Jakeh; an oracle: ²  This ³  man says ⁴  to Ithiel, to Ithiel and to Ukal: ⁵ 

Moreover, the strength of their ¹  hands – what use was it to me? Men whose strength ²  had perished;

My eyes ¹  grow dim ²  from suffering; they grow weak ³  because of all my enemies. ⁴ 

I am numb with pain and severely battered; ¹  I groan loudly because of the anxiety I feel. ² 

Like cold water to a weary person, ¹  so is good news from a distant land. ²
