ἐγὼ εἶπα ἐν τῷ ὕψει τῶν ἡμερῶν μου πορεύσομαι ἐν πύλαις ᾅδου καταλείψω τὰ ἔτη τὰ ἐπίλοιπα
I said, in the height of my days I shall go in the gates of Hades; I shall leave the remaining years.
The song opens in direct first-person recollection. Hezekiah frames his crisis as an untimely descent toward Hades, so the chapter begins with interrupted life rather than restored confidence.

I said, No longer, no, I shall by no means see the salvation of God upon the earth; I shall by no means see a human being among those dwelling there.
The lament sharpens from lost years to the loss of seeing both divine salvation and human fellowship in the land of the living. The language presses the isolation of approaching death.
