[1]In those daysH3117 was HezekiahH2396 sickH2470[H8804] unto deathH4191[H8800]. And IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 cameH935[H8799] unto him, and saidH559[H8799] unto him, Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, Set thine houseH1004 in orderH6680[H8761]: for thou shalt dieH4191[H8801], and not liveH2421.[H8799]
[2]Then HezekiahH2396 turnedH5437[H8686] his faceH6440 toward the wallH7023, and prayedH6419[H8691] unto the LORDH3068,
[3]And saidH559[H8799], RememberH2142[H8798] now, O LORDH3068, I beseechH577 thee, how I have walkedH1980[H8694] beforeH6440 thee in truthH571 and with a perfectH8003 heartH3820, and have doneH6213[H8804] that which is goodH2896 in thy sightH5869. And HezekiahH2396 weptH1058[H8799][H1065] soreH1419.
[4]Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 to IsaiahH3470, sayingH559,[H8800]
[5]GoH1980[H8800], and sayH559[H8804] to HezekiahH2396, Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, I have heardH8085[H8804] thy prayerH8605, I have seenH7200[H8804] thy tearsH1832: behold, I will addH3254[H8802] unto thy daysH3117 fifteenH2568[H6240] yearsH8141.
[6]And I will deliverH5337[H8686] thee and this cityH5892 out of the handH3709 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804: and I will defendH1598[H8804] this cityH5892.
[7]And this shall be a signH226 unto thee from the LORDH3068, that the LORDH3068 will doH6213[H8799] this thingH1697 H1696that he hath spokenH8765
[8]Behold, I will bring againH7725[H8688] the shadowH6738 of the degreesH4609, which is gone downH3381[H8804] in the sunH8121 dialH4609 of AhazH271, tenH6235 degreesH4609 backwardH322. So the sunH8121 returnedH7725[H8799] tenH6235 degreesH4609, by which degreesH4609 it was gone downH3381.[H8804]
[9]The writingH4385 of HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, when he had been sickH2470[H8800], and was recoveredH2421[H8799] of his sicknessH2483:
[10]I saidH559[H8804] in the cutting offH1824 of my daysH3117, I shall goH3212[H8799] to the gatesH8179 of the graveH7585: I am deprivedH6485[H8795] of the residueH3499 of my yearsH8141.
[11]I saidH559[H8804], I shall not seeH7200[H8799] the LORDH3050, even the LORDH3050, in the landH776 of the livingH2416: I shall beholdH5027[H8686] manH120 no more with the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of the worldH2309.
[12]Mine ageH1755 is departedH5265[H8738], and is removedH1540[H8738] from me as a shepherd'sH7473 tentH168: I have cut offH7088[H8765] like a weaverH707[H8802] my lifeH2416: he will cut me offH1214[H8762] with pining sicknessH1803: from dayH3117 even to nightH3915 wilt thou make an endH7999 of meH8686.
[13]I reckonedH7737[H8765] till morningH1242, that, as a lionH738, so will he breakH7665[H8762] all my bonesH6106: from dayH3117 even to nightH3915 wilt thou make an endH7999 of meH8686.
[14]Like a craneH5483 or a swallowH5693, so did I chatterH6850[H8770]: I did mournH1897[H8799] as a doveH3123: mine eyesH5869 failH1809[H8804] with looking upwardH4791: O LORDH3068, I am oppressedH6234; undertakeH6148 for meH8798.
[15]What shall I sayH1696[H8762]? he hath both spokenH559[H8804] unto me, and himself hath doneH6213[H8804] it: I shall go softlyH1718[H8691] all my yearsH8141 in the bitternessH4751 of my soulH5315.
[16]O LordH136, by these things men liveH2421[H8799], and in all these things is the lifeH2416 of my spiritH7307: so wilt thou recoverH2492[H8686] me, and make me to liveH2421.[H8685]
[17]Behold, for peaceH7965 I had great bitternessH4751[H4843][H8804]: but thou hast in loveH2836[H8804] to my soulH5315 delivered it from the pitH7845 of corruptionH1097: for thou hast castH7993[H8689] all my sinsH2399 behindH310 thy backH1460.
[18]For the graveH7585 cannot praiseH3034[H8686] thee, deathH4194 can not celebrateH1984[H8762] thee: they that go downH3381[H8802] into the pitH953 cannot hopeH7663[H8762] for thy truthH571.
[19]The livingH2416, the livingH2416, he shall praiseH3034[H8686] thee, as I do this dayH3117: the fatherH1 to the childrenH1121 shall make knownH3045[H8686] thy truthH571.
[20]The LORDH3068 was ready to saveH3467[H8687] me: therefore we will sing my songsH5058 to the stringed instrumentsH5059[H8762] all the daysH3117 of our lifeH2416 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
[21]For IsaiahH3470 had saidH559[H8799], Let them takeH5375[H8799] a lumpH1690 of figsH8384, and lay it for a plaisterH4799[H8799] upon the boilH7822, and he shall recoverH2421.[H8799]
[22]HezekiahH2396 also had saidH559[H8799], What is the signH226 that I shall go upH5927[H8799] to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068?
