Chapter 38.

00:02.480 --> 00:06.980
In those days was Hezekiah sick unto
death, and Isaiah the prophet,

00:07.300 --> 00:12.240
the son of Amoz, came unto him,
and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord,

00:12.760 --> 00:16.620
Set thine house in order, or thou shalt
die, and not live.

00:17.180 --> 00:21.080
Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the
wall, and prayed unto the Lord,

00:21.180 --> 00:26.260
and said, Remember now, O Lord,
I beseech thee, how I have walked before

00:26.260 --> 00:30.160
thee in truth, and with a perfect heart,
and have done that which is good in thy

00:30.160 --> 00:30.500
sight.

00:30.980 --> 00:32.780
And Hezekiah wept sore.

00:33.520 --> 00:38.380
Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah,
saying, Go, and say to Hezekiah,

00:39.020 --> 00:43.280
Thus saith the Lord, the God of David,
thy father, I have heard thy prayer,

00:43.640 --> 00:45.080
I have seen thy tears.

00:45.720 --> 00:50.900
Behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen
years, and I will deliver thee and this

00:50.900 --> 00:55.120
city out of the hand of the king of
Assyria, and I will defend this city.

00:56.100 --> 01:00.240
And this shall be a sign unto thee from
the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing

01:00.240 --> 01:01.200
that he hath spoken.

01:02.080 --> 01:06.680
Behold, I will bring again the shadow of
the degrees, which is gone down in the

01:06.680 --> 01:09.380
sundial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward.

01:10.240 --> 01:14.680
So the sun returned ten degrees,
by which degrees it was gone down.

01:15.540 --> 01:20.560
The writing of Hezekiah, king of Judah,
when he had been sick, and was recovered

01:20.560 --> 01:26.020
of his sickness, I said, In the cutting
off of my days, I shall go to the gates of

01:26.020 --> 01:26.480
the grave.

01:27.160 --> 01:29.580
I am deprived of the residue of my years.

01:30.360 --> 01:34.720
I said, I shall not see the Lord,
even the Lord, in the land of the living.

01:35.480 --> 01:38.660
I shall behold man no more with the
inhabitants of the world.

01:39.320 --> 01:43.340
Mine age is departed, and is removed from
me as a shepherd's tent.

01:44.120 --> 01:46.000
I have cut off like a weaver my life.

01:46.720 --> 01:48.940
He will cut me off with pining sickness.

01:49.400 --> 01:52.440
From day even to night wilt thou make an
end of me.

01:53.140 --> 01:58.400
I reckon till morning that, as a lion,
so will he break all my bones.

01:58.980 --> 02:02.060
From day even to night wilt thou make an
end of me.

02:02.700 --> 02:05.240
Like a crane or a swallow, so did I
chatter.

02:05.780 --> 02:07.140
I did mourn as a dove.

02:07.540 --> 02:09.220
Mine eyes fail with looking upward.

02:09.880 --> 02:11.460
O Lord, I am oppressed.

02:12.260 --> 02:13.220
Undertake for me.

02:13.860 --> 02:14.860
What shall I say?

02:15.440 --> 02:18.780
He hath both spoken unto me, and himself
hath done it.

02:19.420 --> 02:22.880
I shall go softly all my years in the
bitterness of my soul.

02:23.340 --> 02:28.240
O Lord, by these things men live,
and in all these things is the life of my

02:28.240 --> 02:28.580
spirit.

02:29.540 --> 02:32.120
So wilt thou recover me, and make me to
live.

02:32.600 --> 02:38.040
Behold, for peace I had great bitterness,
but thou hast in love to my soul delivered

02:38.040 --> 02:39.340
it from the pit of corruption.

02:40.040 --> 02:42.840
For thou hast cast all my sins behind thy
back.

02:43.420 --> 02:46.880
For the grave cannot praise thee,
death cannot celebrate thee.

02:47.640 --> 02:50.760
They that go down into the pit cannot hope
for thy truth.

02:51.540 --> 02:55.780
The living, the living, he shall praise
thee, as I do this day.

02:56.380 --> 02:59.120
The father to the children shall make
known thy truth.

02:59.460 --> 03:01.200
The Lord was ready to save me.

03:01.740 --> 03:06.360
Therefore we will sing my songs to the
stringed instruments all the days of our

03:06.360 --> 03:08.120
life in the house of the Lord.

03:08.800 --> 03:15.240
For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump
of figs and lay it for a plaster upon the

03:15.240 --> 03:16.880
boil, and he shall recover.

03:17.940 --> 03:23.180
Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign
that I shall go up to the house of the Lord?
