The Book of Isaiah 38

38 In those days Hezekiah was sick to the point of death. So Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, came to him and said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Set your house in order, for you will die and not live.’ ”

2 And Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to Yahweh. 3 And he said, “O Yahweh, please remember how I have faithfully walked before your face with my whole heart and done good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept great tears.

4 And the word of Yahweh was to Isaiah, saying, 5 “Go and say to Hezekiah, ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of David your father: I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I shall add on your days 15 years. 6 And I shall rescue you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria and defend this city.

7 And this will be the sign to you from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do this word that he said. 8 Behold, I shall cause the shadow on the stairs which has gone down with the sun on the stairs of Ahaz to return back ten steps.’ ” So the sun went back ten steps on the stairs which it had gone down.

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

10 I said, “In the middle of my days

I will go through the gates of Sheol;

I am summoned there the rest of my years.”

11 I said, “I will not see Yah,

Yah in the land of the living;

I will no longer look on mankind or the inhabitants of the world.[fn]

12 My dwelling is removed and carried away from me

like the tent of a shepherd;

I have rolled up my life like a weaver;

he is cutting me off from the loom;

from day to night you are finishing me.

13 I cried out[fn] until the morning;

like a lion, thus he breaks all my bones.

From day to night you are finishing me.

14 Like a swallow, thus I chirp;

I coo like a dove;

my eyes grow tired with looking upward.

Lord, I am oppressed; lend me support.”

15 What shall I say?

And he has said to me, and he has done it;

I will walk softly all my years

because of the bitterness of my spirit.

16 Lord, on them men live,

and in all of them is the life of my spirit.

And you have restored me and given me life.

17 Behold, for my wellbeing

bitter bitterness was for me.

But you have held back my life

from the pit of nothingness,

for you have thrown all my sins

behind your back.

18 For Sheol does not thank you,

or death praise you;

those who go down into the pit do not wait

for your trustworthiness.

19 The living, the living! It is he who gives you thanks,

as I do today;

a father makes known to sons

about your trustworthiness.

20 Yahweh is about to save me,

and we will play songs with instruments

all the days of our lives

in the house of Yahweh.”

21 Now Isaiah had said, “They shall take a lump of figs and plaster it on the boil, and he will live.” 22 And Hezekiah had said, “What will be the sign that I should go up to the house of Yahweh?”
