Isaiah 38:13-15

Contemporary English Version

¹³ Until morning came, I thought
you would crush my bones
    just like a hungry lion;
both night and day
    you make a wreck of me.^[a]
14 I cry like a swallow;
    I mourn like a dove.
My eyes are red
    from looking to you, Lord.
I am in terrible trouble.
    Please come and help me.^[b]
15 There's nothing I can say
    in answer to you,
since you are the one
    who has done this to me.^[c]
My life has turned sour;
    I will limp until I die.
