Isaiah 38:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 Mine habitation is departed, and is removed from me, like a shepherd’s tent: I [a]have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off from the height: from day [b]to night, thou wilt make an end of me.
13 I reckoned [c]to the morning: but he brake all my bones like a lion, from day to night wilt thou make an end of me.
14 Like a crane or a swallow, so did I [d]chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes were lifted up on high: O Lord, [e]it hath oppressed me, comfort me.

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)
