Isaiah 38:10-18

10I saidH559, In the noontide of my daysH3117 I shall go into the gatesH8179 of the grave: I am deprivedH6485 of the residue of my yearsH8141.

11I saidH559, I shall notH3808 seeH7200 the LORDH3050, evenH5750 the LORDH3050 in the landH776 of the livingH3427: I shall beholdH7200 manH120 noH3808 moreH5750 with the inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH776.

12MineH4480 ageH3117 is removedH1540, and is carriedH1540 awayH1540 from meH4480 as a shepherd’sH7473 tentH168: I have rolledH7088 upH5704 like a weaverH707 my lifeH3117; he will cutH1214 meH4480 offH1214 from the loom: from dayH3117 evenH5704 to nightH3915 wilt thou makeH1540 an end of meH4480.

13I quieted myself untilH5704 morningH1242; as a lionH738, soH3651 he breaketh allH3605 my bonesH6106: from dayH3117 evenH5704 to nightH3915 wilt thou make an end of meH3605.

14Like a swallowH5693 or a craneH5693, soH3651 didH3651 I chatter; I didH3651 mourn as a doveH3123: mine eyesH5869 fail with looking upward; O LORDH136, I am oppressedH6234, be thou my suretyH6148.

15WhatH4100 shall I sayH559? he hath bothH3605 spokenH1696 unto meH5315, and himselfH1931 hath doneH6213 it: I shall go softly allH3605 my yearsH8141 becauseH5921 of the bitternessH4751 of my soulH5315.

16O LordH136, by theseH3605 things menH3605 liveH2421, and whollyH3605 therein is the lifeH2416 of my spiritH7307: wherefore recoverH2421 thou meH5921, and make meH5921 to liveH2421.

17BeholdH2009, it was for my peaceH7965 that I had greatH4751 bitternessH4751: but thou hast in love to my soulH5315 deliveredH2836 it from the pitH7845 of corruptionH7845; for thou hast castH7993 allH3605 my sinsH2399 behindH310 thy backH310.

18For the grave cannotH3808 praiseH1984 thee, deathH4194 cannotH3808 celebrate thee: they that goH3381 downH3381 intoH413 the pitH953 cannotH3808 hope for thy truthH571.
