1 H3117 In those days H2396 was Hezekiah H2470 sick H4191 unto death. H3470 And Isaiah H5030 the prophet H1121 the son H531 of Amoz H935 came H559 to him, and said H559 unto him, Thus saith H3068 Jehovah, H1004 Set thy house H6680 in order; H4191 for thou shalt die, H2421 and not live.

2 H2396 Then Hezekiah H5437 turned H6440 his face H7023 to the wall, H6419 and prayed H3068 unto Jehovah,

3 H559 and said, H2142 Remember H3068 now, O Jehovah, H577 I beseech H1980 thee, how I have walked H6440 before H571 thee in truth H8003 and with a perfect H3820 heart, H6213 and have done H2896 that which is good H5869 in thy sight. H2396 And Hezekiah H1058 wept H1419 sore.

4 H1697 Then came the word H3068 of Jehovah H3470 to Isaiah, H559 saying,

5 H1980 Go, H559 and say H2396 to Hezekiah, H559 Thus saith H3068 Jehovah, H430 the God H1732 of David H1 thy father, H8085 I have heard H8605 thy prayer, H7200 I have seen H1832 thy tears: H3254 behold, I will add H3117 unto thy days H2568 fifteen H8141 years.

6 H5337 And I will deliver H5892 thee and this city H3709 out of the hand H4428 of the king H804 of Assyria; H1598 and I will defend H5892 this city.

7 H226 And this shall be the sign H3068 unto thee from Jehovah, H3068 that Jehovah H6213 will do H1697 this thing H1696 that he hath spoken:

8 H6738 behold, I will cause the shadow H4609 on the steps, H3381 which is gone down H8121 on the H4609 dial H271 of Ahaz H7725 with the sun, to return H322 backward H6235 ten H4609 steps. H8121 So the sun H7725 returned H6235 ten H4609 steps H4609 on the dial whereon H3381 it was gone down.

9 H4385 The writing H2396 of Hezekiah H4428 king H3063 of Judah, H2470 when he had been sick, H2421 and was recovered H2483 of his sickness.

10 H559 I said, H1824 In the noontide H3117 of my days H3212 I shall go H8179 into the gates H7585 of Sheol: H6485 I am deprived H3499 of the residue H8141 of my years.

11 H559 I said, H7200 I shall not see H3050 Jehovah, H3050 even Jehovah H776 in the land H2416 of the living: H5027 I shall behold H120 man H3427 no more with the inhabitants H2309 of the world.

12 H1755 My dwelling H5265 is removed, H1540 and is carried H7473 away from me as a shepherd's H168 tent: H7088 I have rolled H707 up, like a weaver, H2416 my life; H1214 he will cut me off H1803 from the loom: H3117 From day H3915 even to night H7999 wilt thou make an end of me.

13 H7737 I quieted H1242 myself until morning; H738 as a lion, H7665 so he breaketh H6106 all my bones: H3117 From day H3915 even to night H7999 wilt thou make an end of me.

14 H5693 Like a swallow H5483 or a crane, H6850 so did I chatter; H1897 I did moan H3123 as a dove; H5869 mine eyes H1809 fail H4791 with looking upward: H3068 O Lord, H6234 I am oppressed, H6148 be thou my surety.

15 H1696 What shall I say? H559 he hath both spoken H6213 unto me, and himself hath done H1718 it: I shall go softly H8141 all my years H4751 because of the bitterness H5315 of my soul.

16 H136 O Lord, H2421 by these things men live; H2416 And wholly therein is the life H7307 of my spirit: H2492 Wherefore recover H2421 thou me, and make me to live.

17 H7965 Behold, it was for my peace H4751 that I had great bitterness: H2836 But thou hast in love H5315 to my soul H7845 delivered it from the pit H1097 of corruption; H7993 For thou hast cast H2399 all my sins H310 behind H1460 thy back.

18 H7585 For Sheol H3034 cannot praise H4194 thee, death H1984 cannot celebrate H3381 thee: They that go down H953 into the pit H7663 cannot hope H571 for thy truth.

19 H2416 The living, H2416 the living, H3034 he shall praise H3117 thee, as I do this day: H1 The father H1121 to the children H3045 shall make known H571 thy truth.

20 H3068 Jehovah H3467 is ready to save H5058 me: Therefore we will sing my songs H5059 with stringed instruments H3117 All the days H2416 of our life H1004 in the house H3068 of Jehovah.

21 H3470 Now Isaiah H559 had said, H5375 Let them take H1690 a cake H8384 of figs, H4799 and lay it for a plaster H7822 upon the boil, H2421 and he shall recover.

22 H2396 Hezekiah H559 also had said, H226 What is the sign H5927 that I shall go up H1004 to the house H3068 of Jehovah?
