Isaiah

Isaiah 38:12–13

¹²My dwelling has been picked up and removed from me

like a shepherd’s tent.

I have rolled up my life like a weaver;

He cuts me off from the loom;

from day until night You make an end of me.

¹³I composed myself^c until the morning.

Like a lion He breaks all my bones;

from day until night You make an end of me.
