'Shortened' in the Bible

“The vigorous stride will be shortened,And his own counsel and the scheme [in which he trusted] will bring his downfall.

You have shortened the days of his youth;You have covered him with shame. Selah.

He has exhausted my strength [humbling me with sorrow] in the way;He has shortened my days.

“Why, when I came, was there no man [to greet Me]?When I called, why was there no one to answer?Is My hand really so short that it cannot redeem [My servants]?Or have I no power to rescue?Listen carefully, with My rebuke I dry up the sea,I make the rivers into a desert;Their fish stink because there is no waterAnd die of thirst.

Behold, the Lord’s hand is not so shortThat it cannot save,Nor His ear so impairedThat it cannot hear.

“Is it being said, O house of Jacob:‘Is the Spirit of the Lord impatient?Or are these [prophesied judgments] His doings?’Do not My words do goodTo the one walking uprightly?
