Isaiah 38:14
14 Like a swallow or a thrush I chirp,
I coo ▼
▼tn Or “moan” (ASV, NAB, NASB, NRSV); KJV, CEV “mourn.”
like a dove; my eyes grow tired from looking up to the sky. ▼
▼tn Heb “my eyes become weak, toward the height.”
O Lord, ▼ I am oppressed;
help me! ▼
▼tn Heb “stand surety for me.” Hezekiah seems to be picturing himself as a debtor who is being exploited; he asks that the Lord might relieve his debt and deliver him from the oppressive creditor.
