23:037:037 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed,
and went and
returned,
and dwelt at Nineveh.
23:037:038 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping
in the house of
Nisroch
his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote
him
with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia:
and
Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
23:038:001 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death.
And Isaiah the
prophet
the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus
saith
the lord, Set thine house in order: for thou
shalt die,
and
not live.
23:038:002 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the
wall, and prayed unto
the
lord,
23:038:003 And said, Remember now, O lord, I
beseech thee, how I have
walked
before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and
have
done
that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah
wept sore.
23:038:004 Then came the word of the lord to Isaiah, saying,
23:038:005 Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the
lord, the God of David
thy
father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears:
behold,
I will add unto thy days fifteen years.
23:038:006 And I will deliver thee and this city out
of the hand of the
king
of Assyria: and I will defend this city.
23:038:007 And this shall be a sign unto thee from
the lord, that the
lord
will do this thing that he hath spoken;
23:038:008 Behold, I will bring again the shadow of
the degrees, which is
gone
down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward.
So
the
sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone
down.
23:038:009 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah,
when he had been sick,
and
was recovered of his sickness:
23:038:010 I said in the cutting off of my days, I
shall go to the gates
of
the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my
years.
23:038:011 I said, I shall not see the lord,
even the lord, in the land
of
the living: I shall behold man no more with the
inhabitants
of
the world.
23:038:012 Mine age is departed, and is removed from
me as a shepherd’s
tent:
I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will
cut me off
with
pining sickness: from day even to night wilt thou
make an
end
of me.
23:038:013 I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion,
so will he break all
my
bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an
end of me.
23:038:014 Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter:
I did mourn as a
dove:
mine eyes fail with looking upward: O lord,
I am
oppressed;
undertake for me.
