“I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years.”
Hezekiah's writing begins with his reflection on approaching the end of his days, describing the shutting off of his life as a shepherd removes a tent. The imagery emphasizes the sense of life being cut short and removed. The oracle expresses the existential reality of facing death.
