Isaiah 38:11-13

New International Reader's Version

¹¹ I said, “Lord, I’ll never see you again
    while I’m still alive.
I’ll never see people anymore.
    I’ll never again be with those who live in this world.
¹² My body is like a shepherd’s tent.
    It has been pulled down and carried off.
My life is like a piece of cloth that I’ve rolled up.
    You have cut it off from the loom.
    In a short period of time you have brought my life to an end.
¹³ I waited patiently until sunrise.
    But like a lion you broke all my bones.
    In a short period of time you have brought my life to an end.
