of me. |
Isaiah 38:12
_ _ age — rather, as the parallel “shepherd’s tent” requires habitation, so the Arabic [Gesenius].
_ _ departed — is broken up, or shifted, as a tent to a different locality. The same image occurs (2 Corinthians 5:1; 2 Peter 1:12, 2 Peter 1:13). He plainly expects to exist, and not cease to be in another state; as the shepherd still lives, after he has struck his tent and removed elsewhere.
_ _ I have cut off — He attributes to himself that which is God’s will with respect to him; because he declares that will. So Jeremiah is said to “root out” kingdoms, because he declares God’s purpose of doing so (Jeremiah 1:10). The weaver cuts off his web from the loom when completed. Job 7:6 has a like image. The Greeks represented the Fates as spinning and cutting off the threads of each man’s life.
_ _ he — God.
_ _ with pining sickness — rather, “from the thrum,” or thread, which tied the loom to the weaver’s beam.
_ _ from day ... to night — that is, in the space of a single day between morning and night (Job 4:20). |
Isaiah 38:12
My age hath departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent: I (i) have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day [even] (k) to night wilt thou make an end of me.
(i) By my sin I have provoked God to take my life from me.
(k) That is, in one day, or shortly. |
