The water rose over my head, and I cried out,“ This is the end!”

众水流过我头，我说：“我命断绝了！”

众水淹没我的头，我说：“我没命了！”

众水淹没我的头，我说：“我没命了！”

水已经漫过我的头，我想我要灭亡了。

水淹过我的头，我说：“我要死了！”

眾水流過我頭，我說：我命斷絕了！

眾水淹沒我的頭，我說：「我沒命了！」

眾水淹沒我的頭，我說：「我沒命了！」

水已經漫過我的頭，我想我要滅亡了。

水淹過我的頭，我說：“我要死了！”

眾水淹過我的頭；我說：「我命絕了！」

水滅我頂、我曰我其亡兮、

水滅我頂、我曰命絶兮。

水滅我頂、或作水流過我首我曰、我命絕矣、

the waters closed over my head, and I thought I was about to perish.

The water rose and covered my head. I thought I was going to die.

water closed over my head; I said,‘ I am lost.’

Water flooded over my head, and I thought,“ I’m going to die!”

Waters flowed over my head; I said,“ I am cut off!”

The waters flowed over my head; I said,“ I am cut off!”

Waters flowed over my head; I said, I am cut off.

Water flooded over my head, and I thought: I’m going to die!

Waters flowed over mine head;[ then] I said, I am cut off.

The waters closed over my head; I thought I was about to die.ק( Qof)

Waters flowed over my head. I said,“ I am cut off.”

You threw me into the ocean depths, and I sank down to the heart of the sea. The mighty waters engulfed me; I was buried beneath your wild and stormy waves.Then I said,‘ O Lord, you have driven me from your presence. Yet I will look once more toward your holy Temple.’“ I sank beneath the waves, and the waters closed over me. Seaweed wrapped itself around my head.

Then he said to me,“ Son of man, these bones represent the people of Israel. They are saying,‘ We have become old, dry bones— all hope is gone. Our nation is finished.’

Don’t let the floods overwhelm me, or the deep waters swallow me, or the pit of death devour me.

I cry out,“ My splendor is gone! Everything I had hoped for from the Lord is lost!”

The waters would have engulfed us; a torrent would have overwhelmed us.Yes, the raging waters of their fury would have overwhelmed our very lives.

The ropes of death entangled me; floods of destruction swept over me.

I said,“ In the prime of my life, must I now enter the place of the dead? Am I to be robbed of the rest of my years?”I said,“ Never again will I see the Lord God while still in the land of the living. Never again will I see my friends or be with those who live in this world.My life has been blown away like a shepherd’s tent in a storm. It has been cut short, as when a weaver cuts cloth from a loom. Suddenly, my life was over.I waited patiently all night, but I was torn apart as though by lions. Suddenly, my life was over.

In panic I cried out,“ I am cut off from the Lord!” But you heard my cry for mercy and answered my call for help.

Save me, O God, for the floodwaters are up to my neck.Deeper and deeper I sink into the mire; I can’t find a foothold. I am in deep water, and the floods overwhelm me.

We think you ought to know, dear brothers and sisters, about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia. We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it.In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead.And he did rescue us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in him, and he will continue to rescue us.

My days are over. My hopes have disappeared. My heart’s desires are broken.These men say that night is day; they claim that the darkness is light.What if I go to the grave and make my bed in darkness?What if I call the grave my father, and the maggot my mother or my sister?Where then is my hope? Can anyone find it?No, my hope will go down with me to the grave. We will rest together in the dust!”
