“I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.”
Hezekiah continues with the sense of suffering and distress, describing himself as making mournful sounds like a dove and his eyes failing as he looks upward to God. The imagery of the dove and the failing eyes suggests the vulnerability and desperation of illness and distress. The oracle expresses the physical and emotional reality of terminal illness.
