As a Shepherd S Tent
Isaiah 38:12
My age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life…


I. MAN'S LOT HAS NO PERMANENCE.

II. IT IS EASILY REMOVED.

III. IT MAY BE SPEEDILY REMOVED.

IV. IT IS OFTEN REMOVED SUDDENLY.

V. IT IS REMOVED TO ANOTHER PLACE.

(W. O. Lilley.)

WEB: My dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me like 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 you will make an end of me.
