Isaiah 38:12

Hezekiah's Illness

¹¹ I said, “I will not see the Lord,
The Lord in the land of the living;
I will look on man no more among the inhabitants of the world.
¹² “Like a shepherd’s tent my dwelling is pulled up and removed from me;
As a weaver I rolled up my life.
He cuts me off from the loom;
From day until night You make an end of me.
¹³ “I composed my soul until morning.
Like a lion—so He breaks all my bones,
From day until night You make an end of me.
