Isaiah - Chapter: 38


38:1	In those days hath Hezekiah been sick unto death, and come in unto him doth Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, and saith unto him, `Thus said Jehovah: Give a charge to thy house, for thou `art' dying, and dost not live.'
38:2	And Hezekiah turneth round his face unto the wall, and prayeth unto Jehovah,
38:3	and saith, `I pray thee, O Jehovah, remember, I pray Thee, how I have walked habitually before Thee in truth, and with a perfect heart, and that which `is' good in thine eyes I have done;' and Hezekiah weepeth -- a great weeping.
38:4	And a word of Jehovah is unto Isaiah, saying,
38:5	Go, and thou hast said to Hezekiah, Thus said Jehovah, God of David thy father, `I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tear, lo, I am adding to thy days fifteen years,
38:6	and out of the hand of the king of Asshur I deliver thee and this city, and have covered over this city.
38:7	And this `is' to thee the sign from Jehovah, that Jehovah doth this thing that He hath spoken.
38:8	Lo, I am bringing back the shadow of the degrees that it hath gone down on the degrees of Ahaz, by the sun, backward ten degrees:' and the sun turneth back ten degrees in the degrees that it had gone down.
38:9	A writing of Hezekiah king of Judah concerning his being sick, when he reviveth from his sickness:
38:10	`I -- I said in the cutting off of my days, I go in to the gates of Sheol, I have numbered the remnant of mine years.
38:11	I said, I do not see Jah -- Jah! In the land of the living, I do not behold man any more, With the inhabitants of the world.
38:12	My sojourning hath departed, And been removed from me as a shepherd's tent, I have drawn together, as a weaver, my life, By weakness it cutteth me off, From day unto night Thou dost end me.
38:13	I have set `Him' till morning as a lion, So doth He break all my bones, From day unto night Thou dost end me.
38:14	As a crane -- a swallow -- so I chatter, I mourn as a dove, Drawn up have been mine eyes on high, O Jehovah, oppression `is' on me, be my surety.
38:15	-- What do I say? seeing He said to me, And He Himself hath wrought, I go softly all my years for the bitterness of my soul.
38:16	Lord, by these do `men' live, And by all in them `is' the life of my spirit, And Thou savest me, make me also to live,
38:17	Lo, to peace He changed for me bitterness, And Thou hast delighted in my soul without corruption, For Thou hast cast behind Thy back all my sins.
38:18	For Sheol doth not confess Thee, Death doth not praise Thee, Those going down to the pit hope not for Thy truth.
38:19	The living, the living, he doth confess Thee.
38:20	Like myself to-day -- a father to sons Doth make known of Thy faithfulness, O Jehovah -- to save me: And my songs we sing all days of our lives In the house of Jehovah.'
38:21	And Isaiah saith, `Let them take a bunch of figs, and plaster over the ulcer, and he liveth.'
38:22	And Hezekiah saith, `What `is' the sign that I go up to the house of Jehovah!'


38:1	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 the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.
38:2	Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD,
38:3	And said, Remember now, O LORD, 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.
38:4	Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,
38:5	Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God 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 Assyria: and I will defend this city.
38:7	And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken;
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 writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:
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 not see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.
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	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	Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me.
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	O Lord, 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	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 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, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
38:20	The LORD 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 the LORD.
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	Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?


38:1	In those days Hezekiah was sick to death. And the son of Amoz, the prophet, came to him and said to him, So says Jehovah, Command your house, for you are dying, and shall not live.
38:2	And Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to Jehovah,
38:3	and said, O Jehovah, I beg You to remember now that I have walked before You in truth and with a whole heart; and I have done the good in Your eyes. And Hezekiah wept with a great weeping.
38:4	Then the word of Jehovah was to Isaiah, saying,
38:5	Go and say to Hezekiah, So says Jehovah the God of your father David, I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your days.
38:6	And I will deliver you and this city out of the king of Assyria's hand. And I will shield over this city.
38:7	So this shall be the sign to you from Jehovah, that Jehovah shall do this thing that He has spoken:
38:8	Behold, I will bring back the shadow of the steps which has gone down in the steps of Ahaz with the sun, backward ten steps. So the sun went back up ten steps, by which steps it had gone down!
38:9	The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and had recovered from his illness:
38:10	I said in the pause of my days, I shall go to the gates of Sheol; I am deprived of the rest of my years.
38:11	I said, I shall not see Jah Jehovah in the land of the living; I shall no longer look on man with the world's inhabitants.
38:12	My generation is plucked up and carried away from me, like a shepherd's tent; I have cut off my life like the weaver. He will cut me off from the loom; from day to night You will make an end of me.
38:13	I leveled my soul until morning. Like a lion, so He shatters all my bones. From day until night You make an end of me.
38:14	Like a swift or a crane, so I chatter. I moan as the dove; my eyes look weakly to the heights, O Jehovah; it presses me down; be surety for me!
38:15	What shall I say? For He speaks to me, and He has acted. I shall go softly all my years over the bitterness of my soul.
38:16	O Lord, on them they live, and for all in them is the life of my spirit. And You heal me, and make me live.
38:17	Behold, for peace was bitter to me, most bitter; but You loved my soul from the pit of destruction; You have cast all my sins behind Your back.
38:18	For Sheol cannot thank You; death cannot praise You; the ones going down to the Pit cannot hope for Your truth.
38:19	The living, the living is the one thanking You; as I do today. The father makes known Your truth to his sons.
38:20	For Jehovah is for my salvation; and we will play my songs on stringed instruments all the days of our life, at the house of Jehovah.
38:21	For had said, Let them take a cake of figs and rub it on the ulcer, and he will live.
38:22	And Hezekiah said, What is the sign that I will go up to the house of Jehovah?
