Isaiah 38:13

I hoped till morning, as a lion so hath he broken all my bones: from morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me.

Douay-Rheims 1899

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

14I will cry like a young swallow, I will meditate like a dove: my eyes are weakened looking upward: Lord, I suffer violence, answer thou for me.
