Isaiah 38:13-15

Easy-to-Read Version

¹³ All night I cried as loud as a lion,
    but my hopes were crushed like a lion eating bones.
    You finished my life in such a short time.
¹⁴ I cried like a bird
    and moaned like a dove.
My eyes became tired,
    but I continued looking to the heavens.
Lord, I am so depressed.
    Promise to help me.”
¹⁵ What can I say?
    He told me what would happen,
    and he will make it happen.
I have had these troubles in my soul,
    so now I will be humble all my life.
