Isaiah 38:9-22
9This is a writingH4385 by HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 after his illnessH2470 and recoveryH2421H2483:
10IH589 saidH559, “In the primeH18241 of my lifeH3117I must goH1980 through the gatesH8179 of SheolH7585and be deprivedH6485 of the remainderH3499 of my yearsH8141.”11I saidH559, “I will never againH3808 seeH7200 the LORDH3050,even the LORDH3050, in the landH776 of the livingH2416;I will noH3808 longerH5750 look onH5027 mankindH120withH5973 those who dwellH3427 in this worldH2309.12My dwellingH1755 has been picked upH5265 and removedH1540 from meH4480like a shepherd’sH7462 tentH168.I have rolled upH7088 my lifeH2416 like a weaverH707;He cuts me offH1214 from the loomH1803;from dayH3117 untilH5704 nightH3915 You make an end of meH7999.13I composed myselfH77372 untilH5704 the morningH1242.Like a lionH738H3651 He breaksH7665 allH3605 my bonesH6106;from dayH3117 untilH5704 nightH3915 You make an end of meH7999.14I chirpH6850 like a swallowH5483 or craneH5693H3651;I moanH1897 like a doveH3123.My eyesH5869 grow weakH1809 as I look upwardH4791.O LordH136, I am oppressedH6234; be my securityH6148.”
15WhatH4100 can I sayH1696?He has spokenH559 to me, and He HimselfH1931 has done thisH6213.I will walk slowlyH1718 allH3605 my yearsH8141because ofH5921 the anguishH4751 of my soulH5315.16O LordH136, byH5921 such things men liveH2421,and in allH3605 of them my spiritH7307 finds lifeH2416.You have restored me to healthH2492and have let me liveH2421.17SurelyH2009 for my own welfareH7965I had such greatH4751 anguishH4843;but YourH859 loveH2836 has delivered meH5315 from the pitH7845 of oblivionH1097,forH3588 You have castH7993 allH3605 my sinsH2399 behindH310 Your backH1460.18ForH3588 SheolH7585 cannotH3808 thank YouH3034;DeathH4194 cannot praise YouH1984.Those who descendH3381 to the PitH953cannotH3808 hopeH7663 forH413 Your faithfulnessH571.19The livingH2416, only the livingH2416H1931, can thank YouH3034,as I do todayH3644H3117;fathersH1 will tellH3045 their childrenH1121aboutH413 Your faithfulnessH571.20The LORDH3068 will save meH3467;we will play songsH5059 on stringed instrumentsH5058allH3605 the daysH3117 of our livesH2416inH5921 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
21Now IsaiahH3470 had saidH559, “PrepareH5375 a lumpH1690 of pressed figsH8384 and applyH4799 it toH5921 the boilH7822, and he will recoverH2421.”
22And HezekiahH2396 had askedH559, “WhatH4100 will be the signH226 thatH3588 I will go upH5927 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068?”
