In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, “The LORD 1 says, ‘Set your house in order, for you will die, and not live.’” 2Ch 32:24Isa 38:1-82Ki 20:1-112Sa 17:23Jon 3:10Act 9:37Isa 37:21Php 2:27-30
Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD, Mat 6:61Ki 8:30Psa 50:15Psa 91:15 and said, “Remember now, LORD, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight.” Then Hezekiah wept bitterly. Heb 5:7Heb 6:10Psa 18:20-27Neh 13:142Ch 31:20-212Co 1:12Deu 6:18Jhn 1:47
Then the LORD’s word came to Isaiah, saying, “Go, and tell Hezekiah, ‘The LORD, the God of David your father, says, “I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life. 1Jn 5:14-15Psa 34:5-6Rev 7:17Luk 1:13Psa 147:3Psa 56:82Ki 19:202Co 7:6 I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city. Isa 37:35Isa 12:6Isa 31:4-52Ch 32:222Ti 4:17 This shall be the sign to you from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he has spoken. Isa 37:30Jdg 6:37-392Ki 20:8-21Isa 7:11-14Jdg 6:17-22Gen 9:13Isa 38:22 Behold, I will cause the shadow on the sundial, which has gone down on the sundial of Ahaz with the sun, to return backward ten steps.”’” So the sun returned ten steps on the sundial on which it had gone down. 2Ki 20:9-11Jos 10:12-142Ch 32:24Mat 16:12Ch 32:31
The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and had recovered of his sickness: 1Sa 2:1-102Ch 29:30Deu 32:39Exo 15:1-21Hos 6:1-2Isa 12:1-6Jdg 5:1-31Job 5:18
I said, “In the middle of my life I go into the gates of Sheol. 2 2Co 1:9Psa 102:24Job 7:7Psa 107:18Isa 38:1Job 17:11-16Job 6:11
I am deprived of the residue of my years.”
I said, “I won’t see the LORD, 3 Psa 27:13Psa 116:8-9Ecc 9:5-6Job 35:14-15Psa 31:22Psa 6:4-5
the LORD 4 in the land of the living.
I will see man no more with the inhabitants of the world.
My dwelling is removed, 2Co 5:1Heb 1:12Psa 73:142Co 5:42Pe 1:13-14Isa 1:8Isa 13:20Jas 4:14
and is carried away from me like a shepherd’s tent.
I have rolled up my life like a weaver.
He will cut me off from the loom.
From day even to night you will make an end of me.
I waited patiently until morning. Dan 6:24Psa 51:81Ki 13:24-261Co 11:30-32Hos 5:14Job 10:16-17Job 16:12-14Psa 39:10
He breaks all my bones like a lion.
From day even to night you will make an end of me.
I chattered like a swallow or a crane. Isa 59:11Psa 69:3Ezk 7:16Job 30:29Nam 2:7Psa 119:122-123Psa 123:1-4Job 17:3
I moaned like a dove.
My eyes weaken looking upward.
Lord, I am oppressed.
Be my security.”
What will I say? 1Ki 21:27Job 7:11Job 10:11Sa 1:102Ki 4:27Ezr 9:10Jhn 12:27Job 21:25
He has both spoken to me, and himself has done it.
I will walk carefully all my years because of the anguish of my soul.
Lord, men live by these things; 1Co 11:32Heb 12:10-11Mat 4:4Psa 119:25Deu 8:3Isa 64:5Job 33:19-282Co 4:17
and my spirit finds life in all of them.
You restore me, and cause me to live.
Behold, for peace I had great anguish, Isa 43:25Jon 2:6Mic 7:18-19Jer 31:34Psa 30:3Psa 86:13Job 3:25-26Psa 30:6-7
but you have in love for my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption;
for you have cast all my sins behind your back.
For Sheol 5 can’t praise you. Ecc 9:10Psa 30:9Psa 6:5Psa 115:17-18Psa 88:10-11Num 16:33Luk 16:26-31Mat 25:46
Death can’t celebrate you.
Those who go down into the pit can’t hope for your truth.
The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do today. Deu 6:7Psa 119:175Deu 4:9Psa 78:3-6Deu 11:19Exo 12:26-27Exo 13:14-15Gen 18:19
The father shall make known your truth to the children.
The LORD will save me. Psa 116:2Psa 145:2Psa 150:4Hab 3:19Psa 116:17-19Psa 27:5-6Psa 30:11-12Psa 33:2
Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments all the days of our life in the LORD’s house.
Now Isaiah had said, “Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a poultice on the boil, and he shall recover.” 2Ki 20:7-8Jhn 9:6Mrk 7:33 Hezekiah also had said, “What is the sign that I will go up to the LORD’s house?” 2Ki 20:8Jhn 5:14Psa 118:18-19Psa 122:1Psa 42:1-2Psa 84:1-2Psa 84:10-12
