Isaiah 38

1In thoseH1992 daysH3117 was HezekiahH2396 sickH2470 unto deathH4191. And IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 cameH935 to him, and saidH559 unto him, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, SetH935 thine houseH1004 in orderH6680; for thou shalt dieH4191, and notH3808 liveH2421. 2Then HezekiahH2396 turnedH5437 his faceH6440 to the wallH7023, and prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068, 3and saidH559, RememberH2142 nowH4994, O LORDH3068, I beseechH577 thee, howH834 I have walkedH1980 beforeH6440 thee in truthH571 and with a perfectH8003 heartH3820, and have doneH6213 that whichH834 is goodH2896 in thy sightH5869. And HezekiahH2396 weptH1058 sore. 4Then cameH1961 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 to IsaiahH3470, sayingH559, 5GoH1980, and sayH559 to HezekiahH2396, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, I have heardH8085 thy prayerH8605, I have seenH7200 thy tearsH1832: beholdH2005, I will addH3254 unto thy daysH3117 fifteenH6240 yearsH8141. 6And I will deliverH5337 thee and this cityH5892 outH5921 of the handH3709 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804: and I will defendH1598 this cityH5892. 7And this shall he the signH226 unto thee from the LORDH3068, that the LORDH3068 will doH6213 this thingH1697 that he hath spokenH1696: 8beholdH2005, I will causeH7725 the shadowH6738 on the stepsH4609, whichH834 is goneH3381 downH3381 on the dial of AhazH271 with the sunH8121, to returnH7725 backwardH322 tenH6235 stepsH4609. SoH834 the sunH8121 returnedH7725 tenH6235 stepsH4609 on the dial whereon it was goneH3381 downH3381. 9The writingH4385 of HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, when he had been sickH2470, and was recovered of his sicknessH2483. 10I saidH559, In the noontide of my daysH3117 I shall go into the gatesH8179 of the grave: I am deprivedH6485 of the residue of my yearsH8141. 11I saidH559, I shall notH3808 seeH7200 the LORDH3050, evenH5750 the LORDH3050 in the landH776 of the livingH3427: I shall beholdH7200 manH120 noH3808 moreH5750 with the inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH776. 12MineH4480 ageH3117 is removedH1540, and is carriedH1540 awayH1540 from meH4480 as a shepherd’sH7473 tentH168: I have rolledH7088 upH5704 like a weaverH707 my lifeH3117; he will cutH1214 meH4480 offH1214 from the loom: from dayH3117 evenH5704 to nightH3915 wilt thou makeH1540 an end of meH4480. 13I quieted myself untilH5704 morningH1242; as a lionH738, soH3651 he breaketh allH3605 my bonesH6106: from dayH3117 evenH5704 to nightH3915 wilt thou make an end of meH3605. 14Like a swallowH5693 or a craneH5693, soH3651 didH3651 I chatter; I didH3651 mourn as a doveH3123: mine eyesH5869 fail with looking upward; O LORDH136, I am oppressedH6234, be thou my suretyH6148. 15WhatH4100 shall I sayH559? he hath bothH3605 spokenH1696 unto meH5315, and himselfH1931 hath doneH6213 it: I shall go softly allH3605 my yearsH8141 becauseH5921 of the bitternessH4751 of my soulH5315. 16O LordH136, by theseH3605 things menH3605 liveH2421, and whollyH3605 therein is the lifeH2416 of my spiritH7307: wherefore recoverH2421 thou meH5921, and make meH5921 to liveH2421. 17BeholdH2009, it was for my peaceH7965 that I had greatH4751 bitternessH4751: but thou hast in love to my soulH5315 deliveredH2836 it from the pitH7845 of corruptionH7845; for thou hast castH7993 allH3605 my sinsH2399 behindH310 thy backH310. 18For the grave cannotH3808 praiseH1984 thee, deathH4194 cannotH3808 celebrate thee: they that goH3381 downH3381 intoH413 the pitH953 cannotH3808 hope for thy truthH571. 19The livingH2416, the livingH2416, he shall praiseH3034 thee, as I do this dayH3117: the fatherH1 to the childrenH1121 shall makeH3045 knownH3045 thy truthH571. 20The LORDH3068 is ready to saveH3467 meH5921: therefore weH3117 will sing my songsH5058 to the stringedH5058 instrumentsH5058 allH3605 the daysH3117 of our lifeH3117 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. 21Now IsaiahH3470 had saidH559, Let them takeH5375 a cakeH1690 of figsH8384, and lay it for a plaister uponH5921 the boilH7822, and he shall recoverH2421. 22HezekiahH2396 also had saidH559, WhatH4100 is the signH226 that I shall goH5927 upH5927 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068?
