The .xxxviij. Chapter.
Hezekiah is syck vnto the deeth, but is yet reuyued
by the Lorde, and lyueth .xv. yeares after: for whych
benefyte he geueth thanckes.
-- --
Hezekiah.
A noteNot longe afore thys, was Hezekiah
sick vnto the deeth: and
the Prophet Esay the sonne of
Amoz came vnto hym, ∧ sayde:
Thus commaundeth the Lord:
Set thine house in ordre: for thou must dye,
and shalt not escape. Then Hezekiah turned
hys face towarde the wall, and prayed vnto
the Lorde, and sayde: Remembre (O Lorde)
that I haue walcked before the in05Q0906 treuth
and a stedfast herte, and haue done the thyng
that is pleasaunt to the. And Hezekiah wepte
sore. Then sayde God vnto Esay: Go and
speake vnto Hezekiah: the Lorde God of Dauid
thy father sendeth the thys worde: I haue
herde thy prayer, and consydred thy teares:
beholde I wyll put fyftene yeares mo vnto
thy lyfe, and delyuer the and the cytie also,
from the hande of the kynge of Assiria, for I
wyll defende the citie.
B And take the this token
of the Lord, that he wyll do it, as he hath
spoken: Beholde, I will returne the shadowe
of Ahaz dial, that now is layed out wyth the
Sunne ∧ brynge it ten degrees backe warde.
So the Sunne turned ten degree backward,
the which he was descended a fore.
¶ A thanckesgeuynge, whiche
Hezekiah Kynge of Iuda wrote, when
he had bene sycke, and
was recouered.
C 05Q0907I thought I shulde haue gone to the
gates of hell in my best age, and haue wanted
the resydue of my yeares.
I spake with in my selfe: I shall neuer viset
the Lorde God in this lyfe: I shall neuer
se man amonge the dwellers of the worlde.
Myne age is folden vp together, and taken
awaye fro me, lyke a shepherdes cotage:
my lyfe is hewen of, lyke as a weeuer cutteth
of his webb.
Whyle I was yet takynge my rest, he hewed
me of, ∧ made an ende of me in one day.
05Q0908I thought I wolde haue lyued vnto the
morow, but he brosed my bones lyke a lyon,
and made an ende of me in one daye.
Then chatred I lyke a swalowe, and lyke
a crane, and mourned as a doue.
I lyfte vp myne eyes into the heyght: O
Lorde (sayde I) vyolence is done vnto me, be
thou suertye for me.
What shall I speake or saye, that he may
this do? That I may lyue out all my yeares,
yee in the bytternesse of my lyfe?
D Verely (Lorde) men must lyue in bytternesse,
∧ all my life muste I passe ouer therin:
For thou raysest me vp, and wakest me. But
lo, I wyllbe well cont&ebar;t with this bytternes.
Neuertheles my c&obar;uersacy&obar; hath so pleased
the, that thou woldest not make an ende
of my lyfe: so þt; thou hast cast all my synnes
behynde thy back.
05Q0909For hell prayseth not the, death doth
not magnyfye the.
05Q0910They þt; go downe into þe; graue, prayse
not thy trueth: but the lyuyng, yee the liuinge
acknowledge the, lyke as I do thys daye.
The father telleth hys chyldren of thy faythfulnesse.
Delyuer vs (O Lorde) and we wyll singe
prayses in thy house, all þe; dayes of oure life.
And Esay sayde: take a playster of fygges,
and laye it vpon the sore, so shall it be whole.
Then sayd Hezekiah: O what a great thinge
is this, that I shall go vp into the house of
the Lorde.
