11I said, “I will not again see the Lord himselfb

in the land of the living;c

no longer will I look on my fellow man,

or be with those who now dwell in this world.

12Like a shepherd’s tentd my house

has been pulled downe and taken from me.

Like a weaver I have rolledf up my life,

and he has cut me off from the loom;g

day and nighth you made an end of me.
