Isaiah 38:13

I am crying out with pain till the morning; it is as if a lion was crushing all my bones.

Bible in Basic English

In The King James Version

I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.

In Context

12My resting-place is pulled up and taken away from me like a herdsman's tent: my life is rolled up like a linen-worker's thread; I am cut off from the cloth on the frame: from day even to night you give me up to pain.

14I make cries like a bird; I give out sounds of grief like a dove: my eyes are looking up with desire; O Lord, I am crushed, take up my cause.
