Isaiah 38:12-14

Complete Jewish Bible

¹² My home is uprooted and taken away
from me like a shepherd’s tent.
Like a weaver, I have rolled up my life;
he cuts me off from the loom.
Between day and night you could finish me off.
¹³ I try to be strong like a lion till morning,
but still my illness breaks all my bones —
between day and night you could finish me off.
¹⁴ I make little chattering sounds like a swallow,
I moan aloud like a dove,
My eyes are weary with looking upward.
Adonai, I am overwhelmed; guarantee my life!’
