Isaiah 38:10-13 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

10. I thought I would dieduring my best yearsand stay as a prisoner for everin the world of the dead.

11. I thought I would never againsee you, my Lord,or any of the peoplewho live on this earth.

12. My life was taken from melike the tent that a shepherdpulls up and moves.You cut me off like threadfrom a weaver's loom;you make a wreck of meday and night.

13. Until morning came, I thoughtyou would crush my bonesjust like a hungry lion;both night and dayyou make a wreck of me.
