Isaiah 38:14-16
Evangelical Heritage Version
Isaiah 38:14-16
Evangelical Heritage Version
14 I chirp weakly like a swift or a swallow.
I mourn like a dove.
My eyes are tired from looking upward.
O Lord, I am oppressed.
Be my security.
15 What can I say?
He has spoken to me, and he is the one to act.
I will march slowly throughout all my years,
because my heart is bitter.[a]
16 Lord, people live because you give them life.
My spirit lives through this.[b]
Restore me, and let me live.[c]
