In the land of the living, I do not behold man any more, With the inhabitants of the world. 12My sojourning hath departed, And been removed from me as a shepherd's tent, I have drawn together, as a weaver, my life, By weakness it cutteth me off, From day unto night Thou dost end me. 13I have set Him till morning as a lion, So doth He break all my bones, From day unto night Thou dost end me. 14As a crane--a swallow--so I chatter, I mourn as a dove, Drawn up have been mine eyes on high, O Jehovah, oppression is on me, be my surety. 15--What do I say? seeing He said to me, And He Himself hath wrought, I go softly all my years for the bitterness of my soul. 16Lord, by these do men live, And by all in them is the life of my spirit, And Thou savest me, make me also to live, 17Lo, to peace He changed for me bitterness, And Thou hast delighted in my soul without corruption, For Thou hast cast behind Thy back all my sins. 18For Sheol doth not confess Thee, Death doth not praise Thee, Those going down to the pit hope not for Thy truth. 19The living, the living, he doth confess Thee. 20Like myself to-day--a father to sons Doth make known of Thy faithfulness, O Jehovah--to save me: And my songs we sing all days of our lives In the house of Jehovah.' 21And Isaiah saith, `Let them take a bunch of figs, and plaster over the ulcer, and he liveth.' 22And Hezekiah saith, `What is the sign that I go up to the house of Jehovah!' ‹Previous chapterIsaiah 37Next chapterIsaiah 39›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsIsaiah 38 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
