Hezekiah's song

When Hezekiah became better from his disease, he wrote this song:

10 I thought that I might die in the middle of my life.
I thought that I would go into the deep hole of death,
    before I had lived all the years of my life.
11 I thought, ‘I will not see the Lord again,
    while I live in this world.
I will no longer see the people who live in the world.
    I will no longer live among them.’

10 I said, “In the prime of my life(A)
    must I go through the gates of death(B)
    and be robbed of the rest of my years?(C)
11 I said, “I will not again see the Lord himself(D)
    in the land of the living;(E)
no longer will I look on my fellow man,
    or be with those who now dwell in this world.
