Isaiah 38:13

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.

KJV

Sperabam usque ad mane ; quasi leo, sic contrivit omnia ossa mea : de mane usque ad vesperam finies me.

Vulgate

ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ παρεδόθην ἕως πρωὶ ὡς λέοντι. συνέτριψεν πάντα τὰ ὀστᾶ μου· ἀπὸ γὰρ τῆς ἡμέρας ἕως νυκτὸς παρεδόθην.

LXX

I quieted myself until morning; as a lion, so he breaketh all my bones: From day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.
