18 For thus says Adonai:
    “I am about to hurl
        the inhabitants out of the land.
    At this time I will press hard on them
        so that they will be found out.”

19 Oy to me because of my brokenness!
    My wound is incurable.
    Yet I said, “This is simply a sickness

20 “My tent is destroyed

        or set up my tent curtains.

Yet I said to myself,
    “This is my sickness, and I must endure(D) it.”
20 My tent(E) is destroyed;

    or to set up my shelter.
