Isaiah 38

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz came unto him and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order, for thou shalt die and not live.

2 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall and prayed unto the LORD,

3 And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart and have done <em>that which is</em> good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.

4 Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,

5 Go and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer; I have seen thy tears behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.

6 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.

7 And this <em>shall be</em> a sign unto thee from the LORD that the LORD will do this thing that he has spoken:

8 Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.

9 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick and was recovered of his sickness:

10 I said in the cutting off of my days; I shall go to the gates of Sheol: I am deprived of the residue of my years.

11 I said, I shall not see JAH, <em>even</em> JAH, in the land of the living; I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.

12 My dwelling place has been moved and is removed from me as a shepherd’s tent; he has cut off my life like a weaver: he has cut me off with sickness: between the day and the night thou shalt consume me.

13 I reckoned that I had until morning. As a lion, he broke all my bones: from the morning <em>even</em> unto the night thou shalt make an end of me.

14 Like a crane <em>or</em> a swallow, so did I complain; I mourned as a dove; I raised my eyes upward, O LORD, I am suffering violence; comfort me.

15 What shall I say? He has both spoken unto me, and <em>he</em> himself has done <em>it</em>; I shall walk softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.

16 O Lord, even unto all those that shall live, <em>in these fifteen years I shall proclaim</em> the life of my spirit in them and how thou caused me to sleep, and <em>afterwards</em> hast given me life.

17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness; but it has pleased thee to <em>deliver</em> my life from the pit of corruption, for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

18 For the grave shall not confess thee, nor shall death praise thee; nor shall those that go down into the pit wait for thy truth.

19 He who lives, he who lives, even he shall confess thee, as I <em>do</em> this day; the father to the sons shall make known thy truth.

20 The LORD <em>is ready</em> to save me: therefore we will sing our psalms in the house of the LORD all the days of our life.

21 Isaiah then said, Let them take a lump of figs and lay <em>it</em> for a plaster upon the boil and he shall be healed.

22 And Hezekiah had said, What <em>is</em> the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?

New International Version NIV

1 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, “This is what the LORD says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover.”

2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD,

3 “Remember, LORD, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

4 Then the word of the LORD came to Isaiah:

5 “Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will add fifteen years to your life.

6 And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city.

7 “ ‘This is the LORD’s sign to you that the LORD will do what he has promised:

8 I will make the shadow cast by the sun go back the ten steps it has gone down on the stairway of Ahaz.’ ” So the sunlight went back the ten steps it had gone down.

9 A writing of Hezekiah king of Judah after his illness and recovery:

10 I said, “In the prime of my life must I go through the gates of death and be robbed of the rest of my years?”

11 I said, “I will not again see the LORD himself in the land of the living; no longer will I look on my fellow man, or be with those who now dwell in this world.

12 Like a shepherd’s tent my house has been pulled down and taken from me. Like a weaver I have rolled up my life, and he has cut me off from the loom; day and night you made an end of me.

13 I waited patiently till dawn, but like a lion he broke all my bones; day and night you made an end of me.

14 I cried like a swift or thrush, I moaned like a mourning dove. My eyes grew weak as I looked to the heavens. I am being threatened; Lord, come to my aid!”

15 But what can I say? He has spoken to me, and he himself has done this. I will walk humbly all my years because of this anguish of my soul.

16 Lord, by such things people live; and my spirit finds life in them too. You restored me to health and let me live.

17 Surely it was for my benefit that I suffered such anguish. In your love you kept me from the pit of destruction; you have put all my sins behind your back.

18 For the grave cannot praise you, death cannot sing your praise; those who go down to the pit cannot hope for your faithfulness.

19 The living, the living—they praise you, as I am doing today; parents tell their children about your faithfulness.

20 The LORD will save me, and we will sing with stringed instruments all the days of our lives in the temple of the LORD.

21 Isaiah had said, “Prepare a poultice of figs and apply it to the boil, and he will recover.”

22 Hezekiah had asked, “What will be the sign that I will go up to the temple of the LORD?”
