Isaiah 38:1-20

38:1

In those days
<03117>

was Hezekiah
<02396>

sick
<02470> (8804)

unto death
<04191> (8800)_.

And Isaiah
<03470>

the prophet
<05030>

the son
<01121>

of Amoz
<0531>

came
<0935> (8799)

unto him, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Set thine house
<01004>

in order
<06680> (8761)_:

for thou shalt die
<04191> (8801)_,

and not live
<02421> (8799)_.

{Set...: Heb. Give charge concerning thy house}

38:2

Then Hezekiah
<02396>

turned
<05437> (8686)

his face
<06440>

toward the wall
<07023>_,

and prayed
<06419> (8691)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

38:3

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

Remember
<02142> (8798)

now, O LORD
<03068>_,

I beseech
<0577>

thee, how I have walked
<01980> (8694)

before
<06440>

thee in truth
<0571>

and with a perfect
<08003>

heart
<03820>_,

and have done
<06213> (8804)

[that which is] good
<02896>

in thy sight
<05869>_.

And Hezekiah
<02396>

wept
<01058> (8799) <01065>

sore
<01419>_.

{sore: Heb. with great weeping}

38:4

Then came the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

to Isaiah
<03470>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

38:5

Go
<01980> (8800)_,

and say
<0559> (8804)

to Hezekiah
<02396>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

the God
<0430>

of David
<01732>

thy father
<01>_,

I have heard
<08085> (8804)

thy prayer
<08605>_,

I have seen
<07200> (8804)

thy tears
<01832>_:

behold, I will add
<03254> (8802)

unto thy days
<03117>

fifteen
<02568> <06240>

years
<08141>_.

38:6

And I will deliver
<05337> (8686)

thee and this city
<05892>

out of the hand
<03709>

of the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_:

and I will defend
<01598> (8804)

this city
<05892>_.

38:7

And this [shall be] a sign
<0226>

unto thee from the LORD
<03068>_,

that the LORD
<03068>

will do
<06213> (8799)

this thing
<01697>

that he hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_;

38:8

Behold, I will bring again
<07725> (8688)

the shadow
<06738>

of the degrees
<04609>_,

which is gone down
<03381> (8804)

in the sun
<08121>

dial
<04609>

of Ahaz
<0271>_,

ten
<06235>

degrees
<04609>

backward
<0322>_.

So the sun
<08121>

returned
<07725> (8799)

ten
<06235>

degrees
<04609>_,

by which degrees
<04609>

it was gone down
<03381> (8804)_.

{sun dial: Heb. degrees by, or, with the sun}

38:9

The writing
<04385>

of Hezekiah
<02396>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

when he had been sick
<02470> (8800)_,

and was recovered
<02421> (8799)

of his sickness
<02483>_:

38:10

I said
<0559> (8804)

in the cutting off
<01824>

of my days
<03117>_,

I shall go
<03212> (8799)

to the gates
<08179>

of the grave
<07585>_:

I am deprived
<06485> (8795)

of the residue
<03499>

of my years
<08141>_.

38:11

I said
<0559> (8804)_,

I shall not see
<07200> (8799)

the LORD
<03050>_,

[even] the LORD
<03050>_,

in the land
<0776>

of the living
<02416>_:

I shall behold
<05027> (8686)

man
<0120>

no more with the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the world
<02309>_.

38:12

Mine age
<01755>

is departed
<05265> (8738)_,

and is removed
<01540> (8738)

from me as a shepherd's
<07473>

tent
<0168>_:

I have cut off
<07088> (8765)

like a weaver
<0707> (8802)

my life
<02416>_:

he will cut me off
<01214> (8762)

with pining sickness
<01803>_:

from day
<03117>

[even] to night
<03915>

wilt thou make an end
<07999> (8686)

of me. {with...: or, from the thrum}

38:13

I reckoned
<07737> (8765)

till morning
<01242>_,

[that], as a lion
<0738>_,

so will he break
<07665> (8762)

all my bones
<06106>_:

from day
<03117>

[even] to night
<03915>

wilt thou make an end
<07999> (8686)

of me.

38:14

Like a crane
<05483>

[or] a swallow
<05693>_,

so did I chatter
<06850> (8770)_:

I did mourn
<01897> (8799)

as a dove
<03123>_:

mine eyes
<05869>

fail
<01809> (8804)

[with looking] upward
<04791>_:

O LORD
<03068>_,

I am oppressed
<06234>_;

undertake
<06148> (8798)

for me. {undertake...: or, ease me}

38:15

What shall I say
<01696> (8762)_?

he hath both spoken
<0559> (8804)

unto me, and himself hath done
<06213> (8804)

[it]: I shall go softly
<01718> (8691)

all my years
<08141>

in the bitterness
<04751>

of my soul
<05315>_.

38:16

O Lord
<0136>_,

by these [things men] live
<02421> (8799)_,

and in all these [things is] the life
<02416>

of my spirit
<07307>_:

so wilt thou recover
<02492> (8686)

me, and make me to live
<02421> (8685)_.

38:17

Behold, for peace
<07965>

I had great bitterness
<04751> <04843> (8804)_:

but thou hast in love
<02836> (8804)

to my soul
<05315>

[delivered it] from the pit
<07845>

of corruption
<01097>_:

for thou hast cast
<07993> (8689)

all my sins
<02399>

behind
<0310>

thy back
<01460>_.

{for peace...: or, on my peace came great bitterness} {thou hast in...: Heb. thou hast loved my soul from the pit}

38:18

For the grave
<07585>

cannot praise
<03034> (8686)

thee, death
<04194>

can [not] celebrate
<01984> (8762)

thee: they that go down
<03381> (8802)

into the pit
<0953>

cannot hope
<07663> (8762)

for thy truth
<0571>_.

38:19

The living
<02416>_,

the living
<02416>_,

he shall praise
<03034> (8686)

thee, as I [do] this day
<03117>_:

the father
<01>

to the children
<01121>

shall make known
<03045> (8686)

thy truth
<0571>_.

38:20

The LORD
<03068>

[was ready] to save
<03467> (8687)

me: therefore we will sing my songs
<05058>

to the stringed instruments
<05059> (8762)

all the days
<03117>

of our life
<02416>

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.
