In those°
days°
was Hezekiah°
sick°°°
unto death.°°
And Isaiah°
the prophet°
the son°
of Amoz°
came°°
unto°
him, and said°°
unto°
him, Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
Set thine house°
in order:°°°
for°
thou°
shalt die,°°
and not°
live.°° |
|
38:2
And Hezekiah{gr.Ezekias} turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying, |
|
38:2
Then Hezekiah°
turned°°
his face°
toward°
the wall,°
and prayed°°
unto°
Yahweh,° |
|
38:3
Remember, O Lord, how I have walked before thee in truth, with a true heart, and have done that which was pleasing in thy sight. And Hezekiah{gr.Ezekias} wept bitterly. |
|
38:3
And said,°°
Remember°°
now,°
O Yahweh,°
I beseech°
thee,°°
how°
I have walked°°
before°
thee in truth°
and with a perfect°
heart,°
and have done°°
[that which is] good°
in thy sight.°
And Hezekiah°
wept°°°
sore.°° |

Then came°
the word°
of Yahweh°
to°
Isaiah,°
saying,°° |
|
38:5
Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, and seen thy tears: behold, I [will] add to thy time fifteen years. |
|
38:5
Go,°°
and say°°
to°
Hezekiah,°
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
the Elohim°
of David°
thy father,°
I have heard°°°
thy prayer,°
I have seen°°°
thy tears:°
behold,°
I will add°°
unto°
thy days°
fifteen°°
years.° |
|
38:6
And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians: and I will defend this city. |
|
38:6
And I will deliver°°
thee and this°
city°
out of the hand°°
of the king°
of Assyria:°
and I will defend°°°
this°
city.° |
|
38:7
And this [shall be] a sign to thee from the Lord, that God will do this thing; |
|
38:7
And this°
[shall be] a sign°
unto thee from°°
Yahweh,°
that°
Yahweh°
will do°°°
this°
thing°
that°
he hath spoken;°° |
|
38:8
behold, I will turn back the shadow of the degrees [of the dial] by which ten degrees on the house of thy father the sun has gone down-- I will turn back the sun the ten degrees; so the sun went back the ten degrees by which the shadow had gone down. |
|
38:8
Behold,°
I will bring again°°°
the shadow°
of the degrees,°
which°
is gone down°°
in the sun°
dial°
of Ahaz,°
ten°
degrees°
backward.°
So the sun°
returned°°
ten°
degrees,°
by which°
degrees°
it was gone down.°° |

38:9 ¶
THE PRAYER OF HEZEKIAH{gr.EZEKIAS} KING OF JUDAH{gr.JUDEA}, WHEN HE HAD BEEN SICK, AND WAS RECOVERED FROM HIS SICKNESS. |
|
38:9 ¶
The writing°
of Hezekiah°
king°
of Judah,°
when he had been sick,°°
and was recovered°°
of his sickness:°° |
|
38:10
I said in the end of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I shall part with the remainder of my years. |
|
38:10
I°
said°°
in the cutting off°
of my days,°
I shall go°°°
to the gates°
of the grave:°
I am deprived°°
of the residue°
of my years.° |
|
38:11
I said, I shall no more at all see the salvation of God in the land of the living: I shall no more at all see the salvation of Israel on the earth: I shall no more at all see man. |
|
38:11
I said,°°
I shall not°
see°°
Yah,°
[even] Yah,°
in the land°
of the living:°
I shall behold°°
man°
no°
more°
with°
the inhabitants°°
of the world.° |
|
38:12
[My life] has failed from among my kindred: I have parted with the remainder of my life: it has gone forth and departed from me, as one that having pitched a tent takes it down [again]: my breath was with me as a weaver's web, when she that weaves draws nigh to cut off [the] thread. |
|
38:12
Mine age°
is departed,°°
and is removed°°
from°
me as a shepherd's°
tent:°
I have cut off°°
like a weaver°°
my life:°
he will cut me off°°
with pining sickness:°°
from day°°
[even] to°
night°
wilt thou make an end°°
of me. |
|
38:13
In that day I was given up as to a lion until the morning: so has he broken all my bones: for I was so given up from day [even] to night. |
|
38:13
I reckoned°°
till°
morning,°
[that], as a lion,°
so°
will he break°°
all°
my bones:°
from day°°
[even] to°
night°
wilt thou make an end°°
of me. |
|
38:14
As a swallow, so will I cry, and as a dove, so do I mourn: for mine eyes have failed with looking to the height of heaven to the Lord, who has delivered me, |
|
38:14
Like a crane°
[or] a swallow,°
so°
did I chatter:°°
I did mourn°°
as a dove:°
mine eyes°
fail°°
[with looking] upward:°
O Yahweh,°°
I am oppressed;°
undertake°°°
for me. |
|
38:15
and removed the sorrow of my soul. |
|
38:15
What°
shall I say?°°
he hath both spoken°°
unto me, and himself°
hath done°°
[it]: I shall go softly°°
all°
my years°
in°
the bitterness°
of my soul.° |
|
38:16
[Yea], O Lord, for it was told thee concerning this; and thou hast revived my breath; and I am comforted, and live. |
|
38:16
O Yahweh,°
by°
these [things men] live,°°
and in all°
these°
[things is] the life°
of my spirit:°
so wilt thou recover°°
me, and make me to live.°° |
|
38:17
For thou hast chosen my soul, that it should not perish: and thou hast cast all [my] sins behind me. |
|
38:17
Behold,°
for peace°
I had great bitterness:°°°
but thou°
hast in love°°
to my soul°
[delivered it] from the pit°°
of corruption:°
for°
thou hast cast°°
all°
my sins°
behind°
thy back.° |
|
38:18
For they that are in the grave shall not praise thee, neither shall the dead bless thee, neither shall they that are in the grave{gr.Hades} hope for thy mercy. |
|
38:18
For°
the grave°
cannot°
praise°°
thee, death°
can [not] celebrate°°
thee: they that go down°°
into the pit°
cannot°
hope°°
for°
thy truth.° |
|
38:19
The living shall bless thee, as I also [do]: for from this day shall I beget children, who shall declare thy righteousness, |
|
38:19
The living,°
the living,°
he°
shall praise°°
thee, as I [do] this day:°
the father°
to the children°
shall make known°°°
thy truth.° |
|
38:20
O God of my salvation; and I will not cease blessing thee with the psaltery all the days of my life before the house of God. |
|
38:20
Yahweh°
[was ready] to save°°
me: therefore we will sing my songs°°
to the stringed instruments°°°
all°
the days°
of our life°
in°
the house°
of Yahweh.° |
|
38:21
Now Isaiah{gr.Esaias} had said to Hezekiah{gr.Ezekias}; Take a cake of figs, and mash them, and apply them as a plaster, and thou shalt be well. |
|
38:21
For Isaiah°
had said,°°
Let them take°°
a lump°
of figs,°
and lay [it] for a plaister°°
upon°
the boil,°
and he shall recover.°° |
|
38:22
And Hezekiah{gr.Ezekias} said, This is a sign to Hezekiah{gr.Ezekias}, that I shall go up to the house of God. |
|
38:22
Hezekiah°
also had said,°°
What°
[is] the sign°
that°
I shall go up°°
to the house°
of Yahweh?° |
