isaiah 38:14 Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me. - Free Bible Online

isaiah 38:14 "Like a swallow, [like] a crane, so I twitter; I moan like a dove; My eyes look wistfully to the heights; O Lord, I am oppressed, be my security.


      14. Rather, "Like a swallow, or a crane" (from a root; "to disturb the water," a bird frequenting the water) [MAURER], (Jer 8:7).
      chatter--twitter: broken sounds expressive of pain.
      dove--called by the Arabs the daughter of mourning, from its plaintive note (Isa 59:11).
      looking upward--to God for relief.
      undertake for--literally, "be surety for" me; assure me that I shall be restored (Ps 119:122).
