Isaiah 38:14-17 Common English Bible (CEB)

14. Like a swallow I chirp;I moan like a dove.My eyes have grown weary looking to heaven.Lord, I’m overwhelmed; support me!"

15. What can I say?God has spoken to me;he himself has acted.I will wander my whole lifewith a bitter spirit.

16. The Lord Most High is the one who gives life to every heart,who gives life to the spirit!

17. Look, he indeed exchanged my bitterness for wholeness.You yourself have spared my whole beingfrom the pit of destruction,because you have cast all my sinsbehind your back.
