King James VersionSource notes
“Wherefore he called for all his friends, and said unto them, The sleep is gone from mine eyes, and my heart faileth for very care.”
Context
7Also that they had pulled down the abomination, which he had set up upon the altar in Jerusalem, and that they had compassed about the sanctuary with high walls, as before, and his city Bethsura.
8Now when the king heard these words, he was astonished and sore moved: whereupon he laid him down upon his bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not befallen him as he looked for.
9And there he continued many days: for his grief was ever more and more, and he made account that he should die.
10Wherefore he called for all his friends, and said unto them, The sleep is gone from mine eyes, and my heart faileth for very care.
11And I thought with myself, Into what tribulation am I come, and how great a flood of misery is it, wherein now I am! for I was bountiful and beloved in my power.
12But now I remember the evils that I did at Jerusalem, and that I took all the vessels of gold and silver that were therein, and sent to destroy the inhabitants of Judea without a cause.
13I perceive therefore that for this cause these troubles are come upon me, and, behold, I perish through great grief in a strange land.
