Isaiah 38:12

My dwelling, hath been broken up. And is stripped from me, like a shepherd’s tent,—I have rolled up—as a weaver—my life From the loom, doth he cut me off, From day until night, [I said] —Thou wilt finish me.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd’s tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.
