Isaiah 38:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 I said, [a]I shall not see the Lord, even the Lord in the land of the living: I shall see man no more among the inhabitants of the world.
12 Mine habitation is departed, and is removed from me, like a shepherd’s tent: I [b]have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off from the height: from day [c]to night, thou wilt make an end of me.
13 I reckoned [d]to the morning: but he brake all my bones like a lion, from day to night wilt thou make an end of me.

- Isaiah 38:12 By my sin I have provoked God to take my life from me.
- Isaiah 38:12 That is, in one day, or shortly.
- Isaiah 38:13 Over night I thought that I should live till morning, but my pangs in the night persuaded me the contrary: he showeth the horror that the faithful have when they apprehend God’s judgment against their sin.

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.
