Amplified Bible Help
38IN THOSE days King Hezekiah of Judah became ill and was at the point of death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him and said, Thus says the Lord: Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.H3117H2396H2470H4191H3470H5030H1121H531H935H559H559H3068H1004H6680H4191H2421 2Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LordH2396H5437H6440H7023H6419H3068 3And said, Remember [earnestly] now, O Lord, I beseech You, how I have walked before You in faithfulness {and} in truth, with a whole heart [absolutely devoted to You], and have done what is good in Your sight. And Hezekiah wept bitterly.H559H2142H3068H577H1980H6440H571H8003H3820H6213H2896H5869H2396H1058H1065H1419 4Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying,H1697H3068H3470H559 5Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; behold, I will add to your life fifteen years.H1980H559H2396H559H3068H430H1732H1H8085H8605H7200H1832H3254H3117H2568H6240H8141 6And I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city [Jerusalem].H5337H5892H3709H4428H804H1598H5892 7And this will be the sign to you from the Lord that the Lord will do this thing that He has spoken:H226H3068H3068H6213H1697H1696 8Behold, I will turn the shadow [denoting the time of day] on the steps {or} degrees, which has gone down on the steps {or} sundial of Ahaz, backward ten steps {or} degrees. And the sunlight turned back ten steps on the steps on which it had gone down.H7725H6738H4609H3381H8121H4609H271H6235H4609H322H8121H7725H6235H4609H4609H3381 9This is the writing of Hezekiah king of Judah after he had been sick and had recovered from his sickness:H4385H2396H4428H3063H2470H2421H2483 10I said, In the noontide {and} tranquillity of my days I must depart; I am to pass through the gates of Sheol (the place of the dead), deprived of the remainder of my years.H559H1824H3117H3212H8179H7585H6485H3499H8141 11I said, I shall not see the Lord, even the Lord, in the land of the living; I shall behold man no more among the inhabitants of the world.H559H7200H3050H3050H776H2416H5027H120H3427H2309 12My [fleshly] dwelling is plucked up {and} is removed from me like a shepherd's tent. I have rolled up my life as a weaver [rolls up the finished web]; [the Lord] cuts me free from the loom; from day to night You bring me to an end.H1755H5265H1540H7473H168H7088H707H2416H1214H1803H3117H3915H7999 13I thought {and} quieted myself until morning. Like a lion He breaks all my bones; from day to night You bring me to an end.H7737H1242H738H7665H6106H3117H3915H7999 14Like a twittering swallow {or} a crane, so do I chirp {and} chatter; I moan like a dove. My eyes are weary {and} dim with looking upward. O Lord, I am oppressed; take my side {and} be my security [as of a debtor being sent to prison].H5483H5693H6850H1897H3123H5869H1809H4791H3068H6234H6148 15But what can I say? For He has both spoken to me and He Himself has done it. I must go softly [as in solemn procession] all my years {and} my sleep has fled because of the bitterness of my soul.H1696H559H6213H1718H8141H4751H5315 16O Lord, by these things men live; and in all these is the life of my spirit. O give me back my health and make me live!H136H2421H2416H7307H2492H2421 17Behold, it was for my peace that I had intense bitterness; but You have loved back my life from the pit of corruption {and} nothingness, for You have cast all my sins behind Your back.H7965H4751H4843H2836H5315H7845H1097H7993H2399H310H1460 18For Sheol (the place of the dead) cannot confess {and} reach out the hand to You, death cannot praise {and} rejoice in You; they who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness [to Your promises; their probation is at an end, their destiny is sealed].H7585H3034H4194H1984H3381H953H7663H571 19The living, the living--they shall thank {and} praise You, as I do this day; the father shall make known to the children Your faithfulness {and} Your truth.H2416H2416H3034H3117H1H1121H3045H571 20The Lord is ready to save (deliver) me; therefore we will sing my songs with [my] stringed instruments all the days of our lives in the house of the Lord.H3068H3467H5058H5059H3117H2416H1004H3068 21Now Isaiah had said, Let them take a cake of figs and lay it for a plaster upon the boil, that he may recover.H3470H559H5375H1690H8384H4799H7822H2421 22Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the Lord?H2396H559H226H5927H1004H3068
