'Bent' in the Bible

Their arrows are sharp and all their bows are strung and bent;Their horses’ hoofs seem like flint and their chariot wheels like a whirlwind.

Therefore [continues Isaiah] my loins are filled with anguish;Pains have seized me like the pains of a woman in childbirth;I am so bent and bewildered that I cannot hear, I am so terrified that I cannot see.

For they have fled from the swords,From the drawn sword, from the bent bowAnd from the press of battle and grief of war.

The [captive] exile will soon be set free, and will not die in the dungeon, nor will his food be lacking.
