38:1 In those days 3117 was Hezekiah 2396 sick 2470 8804 unto death 4191 8800. And Isaiah 3470 the prophet 5030 the son 1121 of Amoz 531 came 935 8799 unto him, and said 559 8799 unto him, Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068, Set thine house 1004 in order 6680 8761: for thou shalt die 4191 8801, and not live 2421 8799.(Set…: Heb. Give charge concerning thy house)

38:2 Then Hezekiah 2396 turned 5437 8686 his face 6440 toward the wall 7023, and prayed 6419 8691 unto the LORD 3068,

38:3 And said 559 8799, Remember 2142 8798 now, O LORD 3068, I beseech 577 thee, how I have walked 1980 8694 before 6440 thee in truth 571 and with a perfect 8003 heart 3820, and have done 6213 8804 [that which is] good 2896 in thy sight 5869. And Hezekiah 2396 wept 1058 8799 1065 sore 1419.(sore: Heb. with great weeping)

38:4 Then came the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 to Isaiah 3470, saying 559 8800,

38:5 Go 1980 8800, and say 559 8804 to Hezekiah 2396, Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068, the God 430 of David 1732 thy father 1, I have heard 8085 8804 thy prayer 8605, I have seen 7200 8804 thy tears 1832: behold, I will add 3254 8802 unto thy days 3117 fifteen 2568 6240 years 8141.

38:6 And I will deliver 5337 8686 thee and this city 5892 out of the hand 3709 of the king 4428 of Assyria 804: and I will defend 1598 8804 this city 5892.

38:7 And this [shall be] a sign 226 unto thee from the LORD 3068, that the LORD 3068 will do 6213 8799 this thing 1697 that he hath spoken 1696 8765;

38:8 Behold, I will bring again 7725 8688 the shadow 6738 of the degrees 4609, which is gone down 3381 8804 in the sun 8121 dial 4609 of Ahaz 271, ten 6235 degrees 4609 backward 322. So the sun 8121 returned 7725 8799 ten 6235 degrees 4609, by which degrees 4609 it was gone down 3381 8804.(sun dial: Heb. degrees by, or, with the sun)

38:9 The writing 4385 of Hezekiah 2396 king 4428 of Judah 3063, when he had been sick 2470 8800, and was recovered 2421 8799 of his sickness 2483:

38:10 I said 559 8804 in the cutting off 1824 of my days 3117, I shall go 3212 8799 to the gates 8179 of the grave 7585: I am deprived 6485 8795 of the residue 3499 of my years 8141.

38:11 I said 559 8804, I shall not see 7200 8799 the LORD 3050, [even] the LORD 3050, in the land 776 of the living 2416: I shall behold 5027 8686 man 120 no more with the inhabitants 3427 8802 of the world 2309.

38:12 Mine age 1755 is departed 5265 8738, and is removed 1540 8738 from me as a shepherd's 7473 tent 168: I have cut off 7088 8765 like a weaver 707 8802 my life 2416: he will cut me off 1214 8762 with pining sickness 1803: from day 3117 [even] to night 3915 wilt thou make an end 7999 8686 of me.(with…: or, from the thrum)

38:13 I reckoned 7737 8765 till morning 1242, [that], as a lion 738, so will he break 7665 8762 all my bones 6106: from day 3117 [even] to night 3915 wilt thou make an end 7999 8686 of me.

38:14 Like a crane 5483 [or] a swallow 5693, so did I chatter 6850 8770: I did mourn 1897 8799 as a dove 3123: mine eyes 5869 fail 1809 8804 [with looking] upward 4791: O LORD 3068, I am oppressed 6234; undertake 6148 8798 for me.(undertake…: or, ease me)

38:15 What shall I say 1696 8762? he hath both spoken 559 8804 unto me, and himself hath done 6213 8804 [it]: I shall go softly 1718 8691 all my years 8141 in the bitterness 4751 of my soul 5315.

38:16 O Lord 136, by these [things men] live 2421 8799, and in all these [things is] the life 2416 of my spirit 7307: so wilt thou recover 2492 8686 me, and make me to live 2421 8685.

38:17 Behold, for peace 7965 I had great bitterness 4751 4843 8804: but thou hast in love 2836 8804 to my soul 5315 [delivered it] from the pit 7845 of corruption 1097: for thou hast cast 7993 8689 all my sins 2399 behind 310 thy back 1460.(for peace…: or, on my peace came great bitterness)(thou hast in…: Heb. thou hast loved my soul from the pit)

38:18 For the grave 7585 cannot praise 3034 8686 thee, death 4194 can [not] celebrate 1984 8762 thee: they that go down 3381 8802 into the pit 953 cannot hope 7663 8762 for thy truth 571.

38:19 The living 2416, the living 2416, he shall praise 3034 8686 thee, as I [do] this day 3117: the father 1 to the children 1121 shall make known 3045 8686 thy truth 571.

38:20 The LORD 3068 [was ready] to save 3467 8687 me: therefore we will sing my songs 5058 to the stringed instruments 5059 8762 all the days 3117 of our life 2416 in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.

38:21 For Isaiah 3470 had said 559 8799, Let them take 5375 8799 a lump 1690 of figs 8384, and lay [it] for a plaister 4799 8799 upon the boil 7822, and he shall recover 2421 8799.

38:22 Hezekiah 2396 also had said 559 8799, What [is] the sign 226 that I shall go up 5927 8799 to the house 1004 of the LORD 3068?
