Psalms 31:12

I have been forgotten, like one dead—out of mind, I have been as a missing vessel.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

In Context

13For I have heard the whispering of many—A terror round about! When they have sat in conclave together against me, to take away my life, have they intrigued.
