Isaiah 38:12
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.
KJV
Generatio mea ablata est, et convoluta est a me, quasi tabernaculum pastorum. Præcisa est velut a texente vita mea ; dum adhuc ordirer, succidit me : de mane usque ad vesperam finies me.
Vulgate
ἐξέλιπεν ἐκ τῆς συγγενίας μου, κατέλιπον τὸ ἐπίλοιπον τῆς ζωῆς μου, ἐξῆλθεν καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ ὥσπερ ὁ σκηνὴν καταλύων πήξας· ὡς ἱστὸς τὸ πνεῦμά μου παρ’ ἐμοὶ ἐγένετο ἐρίθου ἐγγιζούσης ἐκτεμεῖν.
LXX
My dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me as a shepherd’s tent: I have rolled up, like a weaver, my life; he will cut me off from the loom: From day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.
