- Hezekiah continues his written prayer.
- Like a swallow I chirp; I coo like a dove - Both of these clauses mean the same thing and they emphasize how said and pitiful Hezekiah's cries were. A swallow and a dove are types of birds. (See: :en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_parallelism and en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_simile and en:ta:vol1:translate:translate_unknown)
- I am oppressed - AT: "My sickness is troubling me" (See: :en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_activepassive)
- What shall I say? - Hezekiah uses a question to emphasize he has nothing left to say. (See: en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_rquestion)
- because my soul is overcome with grief - AT: "because I am full of grief" or "because I am very sad" (See: :en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_synecdoche)
