9 This is the writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick and had recovered from his sickness:
10 I said,
“In the prime of my life
I shall go to the gates of Sheol;
I am deprived of the remainder of my years.”
“In the prime of my life
I shall go to the gates of Sheol;
I am deprived of the remainder of my years.”
11 I said,
“I shall not see1 Yah,
The Lord ain the land of the living;
I shall observe man no more1 among the inhabitants of the world.
“I shall not see1 Yah,
The Lord ain the land of the living;
I shall observe man no more1 among the inhabitants of the world.
12 aMy life span is gone,
Taken from me like a shepherd’s tent;
I have cut off my life like a weaver.
He cuts me off from the loom;
From day until night You make an end of me.
Taken from me like a shepherd’s tent;
I have cut off my life like a weaver.
He cuts me off from the loom;
From day until night You make an end of me.
13 I have considered until morning—
Like a lion,
So He breaks all my bones;
From day until night You make an end of me.
Like a lion,
So He breaks all my bones;
From day until night You make an end of me.
