¹⁸ That You should ^[a]visit him every morning,
And test him every moment?

^12 (A)My life span is gone,
Taken from me like a shepherd’s tent;
I have cut off my life like a weaver.
He cuts me off from the loom;
From day until night You make an end of me.
¹³ I have considered until morning—
Like a lion,
So He breaks all my bones;
From day until night You make an end of me.

⁹ I will bring the one-third ^(A)through the fire,
Will ^(B)refine them as silver is refined,
And test them as gold is tested.
^(C)They will call on My name,
And I will answer them.
^(D)I will say, ‘This is My people’;
And each one will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’ ”

¹⁴ They are dead, they will not live;
They are deceased, they will not rise.
Therefore You have punished and destroyed them,
And made all their memory to ^(A)perish.

³ And ^(A)do You open Your eyes on such a one,
And ^(B)bring ^[a]me to judgment with Yourself?
