Isaiah 38:1 (NIV) New International Version

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, O 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, the LORD, in the land of the living; no longer will I look on mankind, 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 troubled; O 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 men 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; fathers 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?"

2 Then Hezekiah H2396 turned H5437 his face H6440 CMP-3MS toward H413 PREP the wall H7023 , and prayed H6419 W-VTY3MS unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS ,
3 And said H559 W-VQY3MS , Remember H2142 VQI2MS now H4994 IJEC , O LORD H3068 EDS , I beseech thee H577 IJEC , how H834 RPRO I have walked H1980 before H6440 L-CMP-2MS thee in truth H571 and with a perfect H8003 heart H3820 , and have done H6213 VQQ1MS that which is good H2896 in thy sight H5869 . And Hezekiah H2396 wept H1058 sore H1419 .
4 Then came H1961 W-VPY3MS the word H1697 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS to H413 PREP Isaiah H3470 , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
5 Go H1980 VQFA , and say H559 to H413 PREP Hezekiah H2396 , Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , the God H430 CDP of David H1732 MMS thy father H1 NMS , I have heard H8085 VQQ1MS thy prayer H8605 , I have seen H7200 VQQ1MS thy tears H1832 : behold H2009 , I will add H3254 unto H5921 PREP thy days H3117 CMP-2MS fifteen H2568 BFS years H8141 NFS .
6 And I will deliver H5337 thee and this H2063 D-DFS city H5892 D-GFS out of the hand H3709 of the king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 GFS : and I will defend H1598 this H2063 city H5892 D-GFS .
7 And this H2088 W-PMS shall be a sign H226 unto thee from the LORD H3068 EDS , that H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS will do H6213 VQY3MS this H2088 D-PMS thing H1697 D-NMS that H834 RPRO he hath spoken H1696 ;
8 Behold H2009 , I will bring again H7725 VHPMS the shadow H6738 NMS of the degrees H4609 , which H834 RPRO is gone down H3381 in the sun H8121 dial H4609 of Ahaz H271 , ten H6235 MFS degrees H4609 backward H322 ADV . So the sun H8121 D-NMS returned H7725 W-VQY3FS ten H6235 MFS degrees H4609 , by which H834 RPRO degrees H4609 it was gone down H3381 .

10 I H589 PPRO-1MS said H559 VQQ1MS in the cutting off H1824 of my days H3117 CMS-1MS , I shall go H1980 to the gates H8179 of the grave H7585 NMS : I am deprived H6485 of the residue H3499 of my years H8141 .
11 I said H559 VQQ1MS , I shall not H3808 NADV see H7200 VQY1MS the LORD H3050 , even the LORD H3050 , in the land H776 B-GFS of the living H2416 : I shall behold H5027 man H120 NMS no H3808 NADV more H5750 ADV with H5973 PREP the inhabitants H3427 of the world H2309 .
12 Mine age H1755 is departed H5265 VNQ3MS , and is removed H1540 from H4480 PREP-1MS me as a shepherd H7473 \'s tent H168 : I have cut off H7088 like a weaver H707 my life H2416 CMS-1MS : he will cut me off H1214 with pining sickness H1803 : from day H3117 M-NMS even to H5704 PREP night H3915 GMS wilt thou make an end H7999 of me .
13 I reckoned H7737 till H5704 PREP morning H1242 NMS , that , as a lion H738 , so H3651 ADV will he break H7665 all H3605 NMS my bones H6106 : from day H3117 M-NMS even to H5704 PREP night H3915 GMS wilt thou make an end H7999 of me .
14 Like a crane H5483 or a swallow H5693 , so H3651 ADV did I chatter H6850 : I did mourn H1897 as a dove H3123 : mine eyes H5869 CMD-1MS fail H1809 VQQ3MP with looking upward H4791 : O LORD H136 EDS , I am oppressed H6234 ; undertake H6149 for me .
15 What H4100 IGAT shall I say H1696 VPY1MS ? he hath both spoken H559 unto me , and himself H1931 W-PPRO-3MS hath done H6213 VQQ3MS it : I shall go softly H1718 all H3605 CMS my years H8141 in H5921 PREP the bitterness H4751 AMS of my soul H5315 CFS-1MS .
16 O Lord H136 EDS , by H5921 PREP-3MP these things men live H2421 , and in all H3605 these H2004 things is the life H2416 of my spirit H7307 CFS-1MS : so wilt thou recover H2492 me , and make me to live H2421 .
17 Behold H2009 IJEC , for peace H7965 I had great bitterness H4751 AMS : but thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS hast in love H2836 to my soul H5315 CFS-1MS delivered it from the pit H7845 M-CFS of corruption H1097 ADV : for H3588 CONJ thou hast cast H7993 all H3605 NMS my sins H2399 behind H310 PREP thy back H1460 .
18 For H3588 CONJ the grave H7585 NMS cannot H3808 NADV praise H3034 thee , death H4194 NMS can not celebrate H1984 thee : they that go down H3381 into the pit H953 cannot H3808 ADV hope H7663 for H413 PREP thy truth H571 .
19 The living H2416 AMS , the living H2416 AMS , he H1931 PPRO-3MS shall praise H3034 thee , as I do this day H3117 D-AMS : the father H1 NMS to the children H1121 shall make known H3045 thy truth H571 .
20 The LORD H3068 EDS was ready to save H3467 me : therefore we will sing my songs H5059 to the stringed instruments H5058 all H3605 NMS the days H3117 CMP of our life H2416 in H5921 PREP the house H1004 CMS of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .

22 Hezekiah H2396 also had said H559 W-VQY3MS , What H4100 IGAT is the sign H226 NMS that H3588 CONJ I shall go up H5927 to the house H1004 CMS of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS ?
