The days of his youth hast thou shortened{H8689)}: thou hast covered{H8689)} him with shame. Selah.

He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.

The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.

Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
