Isaiah 38:9-22

9This is a writingH4385 of HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 after his illnessH2483 and 1recoveryH2421:10I saidH559, “2In the middleH1824 of my 3lifeH3117 I am to enterH1980 the 4gatesH8179 of SheolH7585; I have been 5deprivedH6485 of the restH3499 of my yearsH8141.”11I saidH559, “I will not seeH7200 the LordH3050, The LordH3050 6in the landH776 of the livingH2416; I will noH3808 longerH5750 lookH5027 on mankindH120 amongH5973 the inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH2465.12Like a shepherd’sH7473 7tentH168 my dwellingH1755 is pulledH5265 upH5265 and removedH1540 from me; As a 8weaverH707 I 9rolledH7088 up my lifeH2425. He 10cutsH1214 me offH1214 from the loomH1803; From 11dayH3117 untilH5704 nightH3915 You makeH7999 an endH7999 of me.13I composedH7737 my soul untilH5704 morningH1242. 12Like a lionH738--soH3651 He 13breaksH7665 allH3605 my bonesH6106, From 14dayH3117 untilH5704 nightH3915 You makeH7999 an endH7999 of me.1415Like a swallowH5483, like a craneH5693, soH3651 I twitterH6850; I 16moanH1897 like a doveH3123; My 17eyesH5869 lookH1809 wistfullyH1809 to the heightsH4791; LordH3068, I am oppressedH6234, beH6148 my 18securityH6148.

15“19WhatH4100 shall I sayH1696? 20For He has spokenH559 to me, and He HimselfH1931 has doneH6213 it; I will 21walkH1718 22quietlyH1718 allH3605 my yearsH8141 becauseH5921 of the 23bitternessH4751 of my soulH5315.16LordH136, 24by these things people liveH2421, And in allH3605 these is the lifeH2425 of my spiritH7307; 2526RestoreH2492 me toH2492 healthH2492 and 27let me liveH2421!17BeholdH2009, for my own welfareH7965 I had greatH4751 bitternessH4751; But You have 2829keptH2820 my soulH5315 from the pitH7845 of 30nothingnessH1097, For You have 31hurledH7993 allH3605 my sinsH2399 behindH310 Your backH1460.18For 32SheolH7585 cannotH3808 thankH3034 You, DeathH4194 cannot praiseH1984 You; Those who goH3381 downH3381 33to the pitH953 cannotH3808 hopeH7663 for Your faithfulnessH571.19It is the 34livingH2416 who giveH3034 thanksH3034 to You, as I do todayH3117; A 35fatherH1 tellsH3045 his sonsH1121 aboutH413 Your faithfulnessH571.20The LordH3068 is certain to saveH3467 me; So we will 36playH5059 my songsH5058 onH5058 stringedH5058 instrumentsH5058 37AllH3605 the daysH3117 of our lifeH2425 38at the houseH1004 of the LordH3068.”

21Now 39IsaiahH3470 had saidH559, “Have them takeH5375 a cakeH1690 of figsH8384 and applyH4799 it to the boilH7822, so that he may recoverH2421.” 22Then HezekiahH2396 had saidH559, “WhatH4100 is the 40signH226 that I will goH5927 upH5927 to the houseH1004 of the LordH3068?”
