11 “I said, ‘I will never again see Yah,
Yah in the land of the living;
I will look on human beings no more
or be with those who live in this world.
12 My home is uprooted and taken away
from me like a shepherd’s tent.
Like a weaver, I have rolled up my life;

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.

    has been pulled down(D) and taken from me.
Like a weaver I have rolled(E) up my life,
    and he has cut me off from the loom;(F)
    day and night(G) you made an end of me.
13 I waited patiently(H) till dawn,
    but like a lion he broke(I) all my bones;(J)
    day and night(K) you made an end of me.
