9. The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick and was recovered of his sickness:
10. I said in the cutting off of my days; I shall go to the gates of Sheol: I am deprived of the residue of my years.
11. I said, I shall not see JAH, even JAH, in the land of the living; I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.
12. My dwelling place has been moved and is removed from me as a shepherd’s tent; he has cut off my life like a weaver: he has cut me off with sickness: between the day and the night thou shalt consume me.
13. I reckoned that I had until morning. As a lion, he broke all my bones: from the morning even unto the night thou shalt make an end of me.
14. Like a crane or a swallow, so did I complain; I mourned as a dove; I raised my eyes upward, O Lord, I am suffering violence; comfort me.
