Psalm 21:15 Douay-Rheims

I am poured out like water; and all my bones are scattered. My heart is become like wax melting in the midst of my bowels.

Augustine of Hippo

A.D. 354–430 Patristic

"I was poured out like water, and all My bones were scattered" [Psalm 22:14]. "I was poured out like water," when My persecutors fell: and through fear, the stays of My body, that is, the Church, My disciples were scattered from Me. [Matthew 26:56] "My heart became as melting wax, in the midst of my belly." My wisdom, which was written of Me in the sacred books, was, as if hard and shut up, not understood: but after that the fire of My Passion was applied, it was, as if melted, manifested, and entertained in the memory of My Church.
