And Ezechias wept with great weeping. 4And the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, saying: 5Go and say to Ezechias: Thus saith the Lord the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer, and I have seen thy tears: behold I will add to thy days fifteen years: 6And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians, and I will protect it. 7And this shall be a sign to thee from the Lord, that the Lord will do this word which he hath spoken: 8Behold I will bring again the shadow of the lines, by which it is now gone down in the sun dial of Achaz with the sun, ten lines backward. And the sun returned ten lines by the degrees by which it was gone down. 9The writing of Ezechias king of Juda, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness. 10I said: In the midst of my days I shall go to the gates of hell: I sought for the residue of my years. 11I said: I shall not see the Lord God in the land of the living. I shall behold man no more, nor the inhabitant of rest. 12My generation is at an end, and it is rolled away from me, as a shepherd's tent. My life is cut off, as by a weaver: whilst I was yet but beginning, he cut me off: from morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me. 13I hoped till morning, as a lion so hath he broken all my bones: from morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me. 14I will cry like a young swallow, I will meditate like a dove: my eyes are weakened looking upward: Lord, I suffer violence, answer thou for me. 15What shall I say, or what shall he answer for me, whereas he himself hath done it? I will recount to thee all my years in the bitterness of my soul. 16O Lord, if man's life be such, and the life of my spirit be in such things as these, thou shalt correct me, and make me to live. 17Behold in peace is my bitterness most bitter: but thou hast delivered my soul that it should not perish, thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back. 18For hell shall not confess to thee, neither shall death praise thee: nor shall they that go down into the pit, look for thy truth. 19The living, the living, he shall give praise to thee, as I do this day: the father shall make the truth known to the children. 20O Lord, save me, and we will sing our psalms all the days of our life in the house of the Lord. 21Now Isaiah had ordered that they should take a lump of figs, and lay it as a plaster upon the wound, and that he should be healed. 22And Ezechias had said: What shall be the sign that I shall go up to the house of the Lord? ‹Previous chapterIsaiah 37Next chapterIsaiah 39›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsIsaiah 38 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
