Isaiah 38:9-20

9The writingH4385 of HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, when he had been sickH2470, and had recoveredH2421 from his sicknessH2483: 10I saidH559 in the cutting offH1824 of my daysH3117, I shall goH3212 to the gatesH8179 of the graveH7585: I am deprivedH6485 of the restH3499 of my yearsH8141. 11I saidH559, I shall not seeH7200 the LORDH3050, even the LORDH3050, in the landH776 of the livingH2416: I shall beholdH5027 manH120 no more with the inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH2309. 12My ageH1755 hath departedH5265, and is removedH1540 from me as a shepherd’sH7473 tentH168: I have cut offH7088 like a weaverH707 my lifeH2416: he will cut me offH1214 with pining sicknessH1803: from dayH3117 even to nightH3915 wilt thou make an endH7999 of me.1 13I reckonedH7737 till morningH1242, that, as a lionH738, so will he breakH7665 all my bonesH6106: from dayH3117 even to nightH3915 wilt thou make an endH7999 of me. 14Like a craneH5483 or a swallowH5693, so I chatteredH6850: I mournedH1897 as a doveH3123: my eyesH5869 failH1809 with looking upwardH4791: O LORDH3068, I am oppressedH6234; undertakeH6148 for me.2 15What shall I sayH1696? he hath both spokenH559 to me, and himself hath doneH6213 it : I shall go softlyH1718 all my yearsH8141 in the bitternessH4751 of my soulH5315. 16O LordH136, by these things men liveH2421, and in all these things is the lifeH2416 of my spiritH7307: so wilt thou restoreH2492 me, and make me to liveH2421. 17Behold, for peaceH7965 I had great bitternessH4751H4843: but thou hast in loveH2836 to my soulH5315 delivered it from the pitH7845 of corruptionH1097: for thou hast castH7993 all my sinsH2399 behindH310 thy backH1460.34 18For the graveH7585 cannot praiseH3034 thee, deathH4194 can not celebrateH1984 thee: they that go downH3381 into the pitH953 cannot hopeH7663 for thy truthH571. 19The livingH2416, the livingH2416, he shall praiseH3034 thee, as I do this dayH3117: the fatherH1 to the childrenH1121 shall make knownH3045 thy truthH571. 20The LORDH3068 was ready to saveH3467 me: therefore we will sing my songsH5058 to the stringed instrumentsH5059 all the daysH3117 of our lifeH2416 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
