Isaiah 38:12 Context
10I saide in the cutting off of my dayes; I shall goe to the gates of the graue: I am depriued of the residue of my yeeres. 11I said, I shal not see the Lord, euen the Lord in the land of the liuing: I shal behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world. 12Mine age is departed, and is remoued from me as a shepheards tent: I haue cut off like a weauer my life: he will cut mee off with pining sicknesse: from day euen to night wilt thou make an end of me. 13I reckoned till morning, that as a Lyon so will hee breake all my bones: from day euen to night wilt thou make an end of me. 14Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter; I did mourne as a doue: mine eyes faile with looking vpward: O Lord, I am oppressed, vndertake for me.
