11
I said: I will never see the Lord,
the Lord in the land of the living;(A)
I will not look on humanity any longer
with the inhabitants of what is passing away.(a)
12
My dwelling is plucked up and removed from me
like a shepherd’s tent.(B)
I have rolled up my life like a weaver;(C)
He cuts me off from the loom.(b)(D)
You make an end of me from day until night.(E)
