King Hezekiah’s Illness and Recovery

38About this time King Hezekiah became sick and almost died. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to see him and said to him, "The LORD tells you that you are to put everything in order because you will not recover. Get ready to die."H3117H2396H2470H4191H3470H5030H1121H531H935H559H559H3068H1004H6680H4191H2421
2Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed:H2396H5437H6440H7023H6419H3068
3"Remember, LORD, that I have served you faithfully and loyally, and that I have always tried to do what you wanted me to." And he began to cry bitterly.H559H2142H3068H577H1980H6440H571H8003H3820H6213H2896H5869H2396H1058H1065H1419
4Then the LORD commanded IsaiahH1697H3068H3470H559
5to go back to Hezekiah and say to him, "I, the LORD, the God of your ancestor David, have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will let you live fifteen years longer.H1980H559H2396H559H3068H430H1732H1H8085H8605H7200H1832H3254H3117H2568H6240H8141
6I will rescue you and this city of Jerusalem from the emperor of Assyria, and I will continue to protect the city."H5337H5892H3709H4428H804H1598H5892
7Isaiah replied, "The LORD will give you a sign to prove that he will keep his promise.H226H3068H3068H6213H1697H1696
8On the stairway built by King Ahaz, the LORD will make the shadow go back ten steps." And the shadow moved back ten steps.H7725H6738H4609H3381H8121H4609H271H6235H4609H322H8121H7725H6235H4609H4609H3381
9After Hezekiah recovered from his illness, he wrote this song of praise:H4385H2396H4428H3063H2470H2421H2483
10I thought that in the prime of life I was going to the world of the dead, Never to live out my life.H559H1824H3117H3212H8179H7585H6485H3499H8141
11I thought that in this world of the living I would never again see the LORD Or any living person.H559H7200H3050H3050H776H2416H5027H120H3427H2309
12My life was cut off and ended, Like a tent that is taken down, Like cloth that is cut from a loom. I thought that God was ending my life.H1755H5265H1540H7473H168H7088H707H2416H1214H1803H3117H3915H7999
13All night I cried out with pain, As if a lion were breaking my bones. I thought that God was ending my life.H7737H1242H738H7665H6106H3117H3915H7999
14My voice was thin and weak, And I moaned like a dove. My eyes grew tired from looking to heaven. LORD, rescue me from all this trouble.H5483H5693H6850H1897H3123H5869H1809H4791H3068H6234H6148
15What can I say? The LORD has done this. My heart is bitter, and I cannot sleep.H1696H559H6213H1718H8141H4751H5315
16Lord, I will live for you, for you alone; Heal me and let me live.H136H2421H2416H7307H2492H2421
17My bitterness will turn into peace. You save my life from all danger; You forgive all my sins.H7965H4751H4843H2836H5315H7845H1097H7993H2399H310H1460
18No one in the world of the dead can praise you; The dead cannot trust in your faithfulness.H7585H3034H4194H1984H3381H953H7663H571
19It is the living who praise you, As I praise you now. Parents tell their children how faithful you are.H2416H2416H3034H3117H1H1121H3045H571
20LORD, you have healed me. We will play harps and sing your praise, Sing praise in your Temple as long as we live.H3068H3467H5058H5059H3117H2416H1004H3068
21Isaiah told the king to put a paste made of figs on his boil, and he would get well.H3470H559H5375H1690H8384H4799H7822H2421
22Then King Hezekiah asked, "What is the sign to prove that I will be able to go to the Temple?"H2396H559H226H5927H1004H3068
