Isaiah 38:13

I hoped, even until morning. Like a lion, so has he crushed all my bones. From morning until evening, you have marked my limits.

Catholic Public Domain Version

In The King James Version

In Context

14I will cry out, like a young swallow. I will meditate, like a dove. My eyes have been weakened by gazing upward. O Lord, I suffer violence! Answer in my favor.
