1 H3117 In those days H2396 was Hezekiah H2470 sick [H8804] H4191 unto death [H8800] H3470 . And Isaiah H5030 the prophet H1121 the son H531 of Amoz H935 came [H8799] H559 unto him, and said [H8799] H559 unto him, Thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H1004 , Set thine house H6680 in order [H8761] H4191 : for thou shalt die [H8801] H2421 , and not live [H8799] .

2 H2396 Then Hezekiah H5437 turned [H8686] H6440 his face H7023 toward the wall H6419 , and prayed [H8691] H3068 unto the LORD,

3 H559 And said [H8799] H2142 , Remember [H8798] H3068 now, O LORD H577 , I beseech H1980 thee, how I have walked [H8694] H6440 before H571 thee in truth H8003 and with a perfect H3820 heart H6213 , and have done [H8804] H2896 that which is good H5869 in thy sight H2396 . And Hezekiah H1058 wept [H8799] H1065 H1419 sore.

4 H1697 Then came the word H3068 of the LORD H3470 to Isaiah H559 , saying [H8800] ,

5 H1980 Go [H8800] H559 , and say [H8804] H2396 to Hezekiah H559 , Thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H430 , the God H1732 of David H1 thy father H8085 , I have heard [H8804] H8605 thy prayer H7200 , I have seen [H8804] H1832 thy tears H3254 : behold, I will add [H8802] H3117 unto thy days H2568 fifteen H6240 H8141 years.

6 H5337 And I will deliver [H8686] H5892 thee and this city H3709 out of the hand H4428 of the king H804 of Assyria H1598 : and I will defend [H8804] H5892 this city.

7 H226 And this shall be a sign H3068 unto thee from the LORD H3068 , that the LORD H6213 will do [H8799] H1697 this thing H1696 that he hath spoken [H8765] ;

8 H7725 Behold, I will bring again [H8688] H6738 the shadow H4609 of the degrees H3381 , which is gone down [H8804] H8121 in the sun H4609 dial H271 of Ahaz H6235 , ten H4609 degrees H322 backward H8121 . So the sun H7725 returned [H8799] H6235 ten H4609 degrees H4609 , by which degrees H3381 it was gone down [H8804] .

9 H4385 The writing H2396 of Hezekiah H4428 king H3063 of Judah H2470 , when he had been sick [H8800] H2421 , and was recovered [H8799] H2483 of his sickness:

10 H559 I said [H8804] H1824 in the cutting off H3117 of my days H3212 , I shall go [H8799] H8179 to the gates H7585 of the grave H6485 : I am deprived [H8795] H3499 of the residue H8141 of my years.

11 H559 I said [H8804] H7200 , I shall not see [H8799] H3050 the LORD H3050 , even the LORD H776 , in the land H2416 of the living H5027 : I shall behold [H8686] H120 man H3427 no more with the inhabitants [H8802] H2309 of the world.

12 H1755 Mine age H5265 is departed [H8738] H1540 , and is removed [H8738] H7473 from me as a shepherd's H168 tent H7088 : I have cut off [H8765] H707 like a weaver [H8802] H2416 my life H1214 : he will cut me off [H8762] H1803 with pining sickness H3117 : from day H3915 even to night H7999 wilt thou make an end [H8686] of me.

13 H7737 I reckoned [H8765] H1242 till morning H738 , that, as a lion H7665 , so will he break [H8762] H6106 all my bones H3117 : from day H3915 even to night H7999 wilt thou make an end [H8686] of me.

14 H5483 Like a crane H5693 or a swallow H6850 , so did I chatter [H8770] H1897 : I did mourn [H8799] H3123 as a dove H5869 : mine eyes H1809 fail [H8804] H4791 with looking upward H3068 : O LORD H6234 , I am oppressed H6148 ; undertake [H8798] for me.

15 H1696 What shall I say [H8762] H559 ? he hath both spoken [H8804] H6213 unto me, and himself hath done [H8804] H1718 it : I shall go softly [H8691] H8141 all my years H4751 in the bitterness H5315 of my soul.

16 H136 O Lord H2421 , by these things men live [H8799] H2416 , and in all these things is the life H7307 of my spirit H2492 : so wilt thou recover [H8686] H2421 me, and make me to live [H8685] .

17 H7965 Behold, for peace H4751 I had great bitterness H4843 [H8804] H2836 : but thou hast in love [H8804] H5315 to my soul H7845 delivered it from the pit H1097 of corruption H7993 : for thou hast cast [H8689] H2399 all my sins H310 behind H1460 thy back.

18 H7585 For the grave H3034 cannot praise [H8686] H4194 thee, death H1984 can not celebrate [H8762] H3381 thee: they that go down [H8802] H953 into the pit H7663 cannot hope [H8762] H571 for thy truth.

19 H2416 The living H2416 , the living H3034 , he shall praise [H8686] H3117 thee, as I do this day H1 : the father H1121 to the children H3045 shall make known [H8686] H571 thy truth.

20 H3068 The LORD H3467 was ready to save [H8687] H5058 me: therefore we will sing my songs H5059 to the stringed instruments [H8762] H3117 all the days H2416 of our life H1004 in the house H3068 of the LORD.

21 H3470 For Isaiah H559 had said [H8799] H5375 , Let them take [H8799] H1690 a lump H8384 of figs H4799 , and lay it for a plaister [H8799] H7822 upon the boil H2421 , and he shall recover [H8799] .

22 H2396 Hezekiah H559 also had said [H8799] H226 , What is the sign H5927 that I shall go up [H8799] H1004 to the house H3068 of the LORD?
