Isaiah 38:13

I waited till morning, and like a lion Did he crush all my bones; “Between morning and night wilt thou make an end of me!”

Noyes Bible

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 habitation is torn away and removed from me, Like a shepherd's tent; My life is rolled up as by the weaver; He cutteth me off from the thrum; Between morning and night wilt thou make an end of me!”

14Like a swallow or a crane, so did I twitter; I did mourn as a dove; Mine eyes failed with looking upward; “O Lord, I am in distress; O, deliver me!”
