Isaiah 38:11-13

Easy-to-Read Version

¹¹ So I said, “I will not see the Lord Yah^[a] in the land of the living again.
    I will not see the people living on earth.
¹² My home, my shepherd’s tent, is being pulled down and taken from me.
    I am finished like the cloth someone rolls up and cuts from the loom.
    You ended my life in such a short time.
¹³ All night I cried as loud as a lion,
    but my hopes were crushed like a lion eating bones.
    You finished my life in such a short time.
