Isaiah 38:12-14
GOD’S WORD Translation
Isaiah 38:12-14
GOD’S WORD Translation
12 My life was over.
You rolled it up like a shepherd’s tent.
You rolled up my life like a weaver.
You cut me off from the loom.
You ended my life in one day.
13 I cried out until morning
as if a lion had crushed all my bones.
You ended my life in one day.
14 I chirped like swallows and cranes.
I cooed like doves.
My eyes were tired from looking up to heaven.
I’ve suffered miserably, O Lord!
Please help me!
Isaiah 38:12-14

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)
