Hezekiah continues, describing his expectation that he would not see the LORD in the land of the living, that he would look upon the human race no more among those who dwell in the world. The reflection on the loss of earthly life emphasizes the finality of death from the earthly perspective. The oracle suggests the sense of separation from the world and from God that death appears to bring.
