Isaiah 38:12-14
Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 38:12-14
Contemporary English Version
12 My life was taken from me
like the tent that a shepherd
pulls up and moves.
You cut me off like thread
from a weaver's loom;
you make a wreck of me
day and night.
13 Until morning came, I thought
you would crush my bones
just like a hungry lion;
both night and day
you make a wreck of me.[a]
14 I cry like a swallow;
I mourn like a dove.
My eyes are red
from looking to you, Lord.
I am in terrible trouble.
Please come and help me.[b]

Isaiah 38:12-14
New International Version
12 Like a shepherd’s tent(A) my house
has been pulled down(B) and taken from me.
Like a weaver I have rolled(C) up my life,
and he has cut me off from the loom;(D)
day and night(E) you made an end of me.
13 I waited patiently(F) till dawn,
but like a lion he broke(G) all my bones;(H)
day and night(I) you made an end of me.
14 I cried like a swift or thrush,
I moaned like a mourning dove.(J)
My eyes grew weak(K) as I looked to the heavens.
I am being threatened; Lord, come to my aid!”(L)
