Isaiah 38:11-13
Evangelical Heritage Version
Isaiah 38:11-13
Evangelical Heritage Version
11 I thought, I will not see the Lord—
the Lord[a] in the land of the living.
I will no longer see anyone among the inhabitants of the world.[b]
12 My dwelling place is being pulled down.
It is carried away from me like a shepherd’s tent.
I have rolled up my life like a weaver.
He is cutting me off from the loom.
From day until night, you make an end of me.[c]
13 I pondered this until the morning.
He will break all my bones like a lion!
From day until night, you make an end of me.

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.
