In those daysH3117 was HezekiahH2396 sickH2470 unto deathH4191. And IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 cameH935 unto him, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Set thine houseH1004 in orderH6680: for thou shalt dieH4191, and not liveH2421. {Set…: Heb. Give charge concerning thy house}
Then HezekiahH2396 turnedH5437 his faceH6440 toward the wallH7023, and prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068,
And saidH559, RememberH2142 now, O LORDH3068, I beseechH577 thee, how I have walkedH1980 beforeH6440 thee in truthH571 and with a perfectH8003 heartH3820, and have doneH6213 that which is goodH2896 in thy sightH5869. And HezekiahH2396 weptH1058+H1065 soreH1419. {sore: Heb. with great weeping}
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 to IsaiahH3470, sayingH559,
GoH1980, and sayH559 to HezekiahH2396, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, I have heardH8085 thy prayerH8605, I have seenH7200 thy tearsH1832: behold, I will addH3254 unto thy daysH3117 fifteenH2568+H6240 yearsH8141.
And I will deliverH5337 thee and this cityH5892 out of the handH3709 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804: and I will defendH1598 this cityH5892.
And this shall be a signH226 unto thee from the LORDH3068, that the LORDH3068 will doH6213 this thingH1697 that he hath spokenH1696;
Behold, I will bring againH7725 the shadowH6738 of the degreesH4609, which is gone downH3381 in the sunH8121 dialH4609 of AhazH271, tenH6235 degreesH4609 backwardH322. So the sunH8121 returnedH7725 tenH6235 degreesH4609, by which degreesH4609 it was gone downH3381. {sun dial: Heb. degrees by, or, with the sun}
The writingH4385 of HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, when he had been sickH2470, and was recoveredH2421 of his sicknessH2483:
I saidH559 in the cutting offH1824 of my daysH3117, I shall goH3212 to the gatesH8179 of the graveH7585: I am deprivedH6485 of the residueH3499 of my yearsH8141.
I saidH559, I shall not seeH7200 the LORDH3050, even the LORDH3050, in the landH776 of the livingH2416: I shall beholdH5027 manH120 no more with the inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH2309.
Mine ageH1755 is departedH5265, and is removedH1540 from me as a shepherd'sH7473 tentH168: I have cut offH7088 like a weaverH707 my lifeH2416: he will cut me offH1214 with pining sicknessH1803: from dayH3117 even to nightH3915 wilt thou make an endH7999 of me. {with…: or, from the thrum}
I reckonedH7737 till morningH1242, that, as a lionH738, so will he breakH7665 all my bonesH6106: from dayH3117 even to nightH3915 wilt thou make an endH7999 of me.
Like a craneH5483 or a swallowH5693, so did I chatterH6850: I did mournH1897 as a doveH3123: mine eyesH5869 failH1809 with looking upwardH4791: O LORDH3068, I am oppressedH6234; undertakeH6148 for me. {undertake…: or, ease me}
What shall I sayH1696? he hath both spokenH559 unto me, and himself hath doneH6213 it: I shall go softlyH1718 all my yearsH8141 in the bitternessH4751 of my soulH5315.
O LordH136, by these things men liveH2421, and in all these things is the lifeH2416 of my spiritH7307: so wilt thou recoverH2492 me, and make me to liveH2421.
Behold, for peaceH7965 I had great bitternessH4751+H4843: but thou hast in loveH2836 to my soulH5315 delivered it from the pitH7845 of corruptionH1097: for thou hast castH7993 all my sinsH2399 behindH310 thy backH1460. {for peace…: or, on my peace came great bitterness} {thou hast in…: Heb. thou hast loved my soul from the pit}
For the graveH7585 cannot praiseH3034 thee, deathH4194 can not celebrateH1984 thee: they that go downH3381 into the pitH953 cannot hopeH7663 for thy truthH571.
The livingH2416, the livingH2416, he shall praiseH3034 thee, as I do this dayH3117: the fatherH1 to the childrenH1121 shall make knownH3045 thy truthH571.
The LORDH3068 was ready to saveH3467 me: therefore we will sing my songsH5058 to the stringed instrumentsH5059 all the daysH3117 of our lifeH2416 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
For IsaiahH3470 had saidH559, Let them takeH5375 a lumpH1690 of figsH8384, and lay it for a plaisterH4799 upon the boilH7822, and he shall recoverH2421.
HezekiahH2396 also had saidH559, What is the signH226 that I shall go upH5927 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068?

And HezekiahH2396 saidH559 unto IsaiahH3470, What shall be the signH226 that the LORDH3068 will healH7495 me, and that I shall go upH5927 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 the thirdH7992 dayH3117?
To the chief MusicianH5329, MaschilH4905, for the sonsH1121 of KorahH7141. As the hartH354 pantethH6165 after the waterH4325 brooksH650, so pantethH6165 my soulH5315 after thee, O GodH430. {Maschil…: or, A Psalm giving instruction of the sons, etc} {panteth: Heb. brayeth}
My soulH5315 thirstethH6770 for GodH430, for the livingH2416 GodH410: when shall I comeH935 and appearH7200 beforeH6440 GodH430?
To the chief MusicianH5329 upon GittithH1665, A PsalmH4210 for the sonsH1121 of KorahH7141. How amiableH3039 are thy tabernaclesH4908, O LORDH3068 of hostsH6635! {for the sons: or, of the sons}
My soulH5315 longethH3700, yea, even faintethH3615 for the courtsH2691 of the LORDH3068: my heartH3820 and my fleshH1320 crieth outH7442 for the livingH2416 GodH410.
For a dayH3117 in thy courtsH2691 is betterH2896 than a thousandH505. I had ratherH977 be a doorkeeperH5605 in the houseH1004 of my GodH430, than to dwellH1752 in the tentsH168 of wickednessH7562. {I had…: Heb. I would choose rather to sit at the threshold}
For the LORDH3068 GodH430 is a sunH8121 and shieldH4043: the LORDH3068 will giveH5414 graceH2580 and gloryH3519: no goodH2896 thing will he withholdH4513 from them that walkH1980 uprightlyH8549.
O LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, blessedH835 is the manH120 that trustethH982 in thee.
OpenH6605 to me the gatesH8179 of righteousnessH6664: I will goH935 into them, and I will praiseH3034 the LORDH3050:
