CHAP. XXXVIII. 1 Hezekiah having received a message of death, by prayer hath his life lengthened. 8 The sun goeth ten degrees backward for a sign of that promise. 9 His song of thanksgiving.


1   In note those days was Hezekiah sick with a mortal disease. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, Thus saith the Lord, note Set thy house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.


2   Then Hezekiah turned his face towards the wall, and prayed to the Lord,


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 note bitterly.


4   ¶2; Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying,


5   Go and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith

-- --

Before CHRIST, 712. the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add to thy days fifteen years.


6   And I will deliver thee and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.


7   And this shall be a sign to thee from the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing that he hath spoken;


8   Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which hath gone down on the note sun-dial of Ahaz ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it had gone down.


9   ¶2; The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and had recovered from his sickness:


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.


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.


12   My age hath 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 note with pining sickness: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.


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.


14   Like a crane or a swallow, so I chattered: I mourned as a dove: my eyes fail with looking upward: O Lord, I am oppressed; note undertake for me.


15   What shall I say? he hath both spoken to me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.


16   O Lord, by these note things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.


17   Behold, note for peace I had great bitterness: but note thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.


18   For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.


19   The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.


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.


21   For Isaiah had said. Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the boil, and he will recover.


22   Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the Lord?
