Isaiah 38:13

I cried out, until morning, like a lion, Thus, will he break all my bones! From day until night, Thou wilt finish me!

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

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

14As a twittering swallow, so, do I chatter, I coo as a dove,—Mine eyes languish through looking on high, O My Lord! distress is upon me—my Surety!
