Isaiah 38:11-13
Good News Translation
Isaiah 38:11-13
Good News Translation
11 I thought that in this world of the living
I would never again see the Lord
Or any living person.
12 My life was cut off and ended,
Like a tent that is taken down,
Like cloth that is cut from a loom.
I thought that God was ending my life.[a]
13 All night I cried out with pain,
As if a lion were breaking my bones.
I thought that God was ending my life.[b]

New International Version
11 I said, “I will not again see the Lord himself(A)
in the land of the living;(B)
no longer will I look on my fellow man,
or be with those who now dwell in this world.
12 Like a shepherd’s tent(C) my house
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.
