Isaiah 38:14 in context

  1. 12My dwelling is removed,
    and is carried away from me like a shepherd’s tent.
    I have rolled up my life like a weaver.
    He will cut me off from the loom.
    From day even to night you will make an end of me.
  2. 13I waited patiently until morning.
    He breaks all my bones like a lion.
    From day even to night you will make an end of me.
  3. 14I chattered like a swallow or a crane.
    I moaned like a dove.
    My eyes weaken looking upward.
    Lord, I am oppressed.
    Be my security.”
  4. 15What will I say?
    He has both spoken to me, and himself has done it.
    I will walk carefully all my years because of the anguish of my soul.
  5. 16Lord, men live by these things;
    and my spirit finds life in all of them:
    you restore me, and cause me to live.
