¹ H3117 In those days H2396 was Hezekiah H2470 sick [H8804]   H4191 unto death [H8800]   H3470 . And Isaiah H5030 the prophet H1121 the son H531 of Amoz H935 came [H8799]   H559 unto him, and said [H8799]   H559 unto him, Thus saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H1004 , Set thine house H6680 in order [H8761]   H4191 : for thou shalt die [H8801]   H2421 , and not live [H8799]  .

² H2396 Then Hezekiah H5437 turned [H8686]   H6440 his face H7023 toward the wall H6419 , and prayed [H8691]   H3068 unto the LORD,

³ H559 And said [H8799]   H2142 , Remember [H8798]   H3068 now, O LORD H577 , I beseech H1980 thee, how I have walked [H8694]   H6440 before H571 thee in truth H8003 and with a perfect H3820 heart H6213 , and have done [H8804]   H2896 that which is good H5869 in thy sight H2396 . And Hezekiah H1058 wept [H8799]   H1065   H1419 sore.

⁴ H1697 Then came the word H3068 of the LORD H3470 to Isaiah H559 , saying [H8800]  ,

⁵ H1980 Go [H8800]   H559 , and say [H8804]   H2396 to Hezekiah H559 , Thus saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H430 , the God H1732 of David H1 thy father H8085 , I have heard [H8804]   H8605 thy prayer H7200 , I have seen [H8804]   H1832 thy tears H3254 : behold, I will add [H8802]   H3117 unto thy days H2568 fifteen H6240   H8141 years.

⁶ H5337 And I will deliver [H8686]   H5892 thee and this city H3709 out of the hand H4428 of the king H804 of Assyria H1598 : and I will defend [H8804]   H5892 this city.

⁷ H226 And this shall be a sign H3068 unto thee from the LORD H3068 , that the LORD H6213 will do [H8799]   H1697 this thing H1696 that he hath spoken [H8765]  ;

⁸ H7725 Behold, I will bring again [H8688]   H6738 the shadow H4609 of the degrees H3381 , which is gone down [H8804]   H8121 in the sun H4609 dial H271 of Ahaz H6235 , ten H4609 degrees H322 backward H8121 . So the sun H7725 returned [H8799]   H6235 ten H4609 degrees H4609 , by which degrees H3381 it was gone down [H8804]  .

⁹ H4385 The writing H2396 of Hezekiah H4428 king H3063 of Judah H2470 , when he had been sick [H8800]   H2421 , and was recovered [H8799]   H2483 of his sickness:

¹⁰ H559 I said [H8804]   H1824 in the cutting off H3117 of my days H3212 , I shall go [H8799]   H8179 to the gates H7585 of the grave H6485 : I am deprived [H8795]   H3499 of the residue H8141 of my years.

¹¹ H559 I said [H8804]   H7200 , I shall not see [H8799]   H3050 the LORD H3050 , even the LORD H776 , in the land H2416 of the living H5027 : I shall behold [H8686]   H120 man H3427 no more with the inhabitants [H8802]   H2309 of the world.

¹² H1755 Mine age H5265 is departed [H8738]   H1540 , and is removed [H8738]   H7473 from me as a shepherd's H168 tent H7088 : I have cut off [H8765]   H707 like a weaver [H8802]   H2416 my life H1214 : he will cut me off [H8762]   H1803 with pining sickness H3117 : from day H3915 even to night H7999 wilt thou make an end [H8686]   of me.

¹³ H7737 I reckoned [H8765]   H1242 till morning H738 , that, as a lion H7665 , so will he break [H8762]   H6106 all my bones H3117 : from day H3915 even to night H7999 wilt thou make an end [H8686]   of me.

¹⁴ H5483 Like a crane H5693 or a swallow H6850 , so did I chatter [H8770]   H1897 : I did mourn [H8799]   H3123 as a dove H5869 : mine eyes H1809 fail [H8804]   H4791 with looking upward H3068 : O LORD H6234 , I am oppressed H6148 ; undertake [H8798]   for me.

¹⁵ H1696 What shall I say [H8762]   H559 ? he hath both spoken [H8804]   H6213 unto me, and himself hath done [H8804]   H1718 it : I shall go softly [H8691]   H8141 all my years H4751 in the bitterness H5315 of my soul.

¹⁶ H136 O Lord H2421 , by these things men live [H8799]   H2416 , and in all these things is the life H7307 of my spirit H2492 : so wilt thou recover [H8686]   H2421 me, and make me to live [H8685]  .

¹⁷ H7965 Behold, for peace H4751 I had great bitterness H4843   [H8804]   H2836 : but thou hast in love [H8804]   H5315 to my soul H7845 delivered it from the pit H1097 of corruption H7993 : for thou hast cast [H8689]   H2399 all my sins H310 behind H1460 thy back.

¹⁸ H7585 For the grave H3034 cannot praise [H8686]   H4194 thee, death H1984 can not celebrate [H8762]   H3381 thee: they that go down [H8802]   H953 into the pit H7663 cannot hope [H8762]   H571 for thy truth.

¹⁹ H2416 The living H2416 , the living H3034 , he shall praise [H8686]   H3117 thee, as I do this day H1 : the father H1121 to the children H3045 shall make known [H8686]   H571 thy truth.

²⁰ H3068 The LORD H3467 was ready to save [H8687]   H5058 me: therefore we will sing my songs H5059 to the stringed instruments [H8762]   H3117 all the days H2416 of our life H1004 in the house H3068 of the LORD.

²¹ H3470 For Isaiah H559 had said [H8799]   H5375 , Let them take [H8799]   H1690 a lump H8384 of figs H4799 , and lay it for a plaister [H8799]   H7822 upon the boil H2421 , and he shall recover [H8799]  .

²² H2396 Hezekiah H559 also had said [H8799]   H226 , What is the sign H5927 that I shall go up [H8799]   H1004 to the house H3068 of the LORD?
