Isaiah 38:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ I will cry like a young swallow, I will meditate like a dove: my eyes are weakened looking upward: Lord, I suffer violence, answer thou for me.

¹⁵ What shall I say, or what shall he answer for me, whereas he himself hath done it? I will recount to thee all my years in the bitterness of my soul.

¹⁶ O Lord, if man's life be such, and the life of my spirit be in such things as these, thou shalt correct me, and make me to live.
