RF ISA 38:1 ODE 57.
Hezekiah's Illness.
At that time Hezekiah was seriously ill, and Isaiah-ben-Amoz the Preacher came to him and told him;—"The LORD says thus Arrange your family affairs, for you will die, and not live.'
RF ISA 38:2 "But Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the EVER-LIVING,
RF ISA 38:3 and said, "I entreat You, the EVER-LIVING, to remember how I have conducted myself before You with a true and sincere heart, and the good I have done in Your sight." Then Hezekiah wept a great weeping.
RF ISA 38:4 Then an order came from the EVER-LIVING to Isaiah commanding,
RF ISA 38:5 "Go and say to Hezekiah, "'Thus says the EVER-LIVING GOD of David your ancestor;—I have heard your prayer,—I have seen your tears,—so I will add fifteen years to your days.
RF ISA 38:6 I will also rescue you and this City from the hand of the King of Ashur, and will shield this town,
RF ISA 38:7 and this shall be a proof to you from the EVER-LIVING, that the EVER-LIVING will effect the event of which He has promised;—
RF ISA 38:8 I will return the Advancing Shadow on the Dial which has passed down on the Sun-dial of Ahaz from the Sun, Ten degrees backwards;—so that ten degrees of the Dial shall return on the sun-dial which they had gone down."
RF ISA 38:9 ODE 58.
Hezekiah's Psalm of Thanksgiving.
Written by HEZEKIAH, King of Judah, about his Illness, after he was restored from it.
RF ISA 38:10 I said to myself,—"In the midst of my days,
I must enter the Grave, lose the half of my years;
RF ISA 38:11 Nor see DIVINE LIFE in the land of the living,
Nor see men again with the dwellers at ease.
RF ISA 38:12 "My tent strike and fold, like the tent of a shepherd;
My life be cut off, like a web in the day, Nor continue to weave me till night."
RF ISA 38:13 I groaned at the dawning as if at a lion, As though he had crushed all my bones,
From the day until night as you broke me.
RF ISA 38:14 Like the circling swallow I twittered,
I mourned like a dove;
My eyes failed for the LIFE from on High;
I was loaded and dark to myself.
RF ISA 38:15 What say and relate of my case?—
That it made me go sadly along,
In the grief of my soul all my years,
Till the Almighty raised me to life!
RF ISA 38:16 Now my spirit will live through them all,
For You have revived me to strength,
RF ISA 38:17 My suffering You turned into ease,
When oblivion You turned back to life,
When You threw to my back all my sin.
RF ISA 38:18 For the grave cannot praise or death give to You thanks,
Nor the wrecked in the Pit know Your truth.—
RF ISA 38:19 Life, life, it will thank You like I do to-day!
Your truth to his children the father will tell.
RF ISA 38:20 The LORD saved me, and so let us sing to the lute All the days of our life, in the House of the LORD.1

1 NOTE.—Ch. 38. The verses 21 and 22 are clearly an old Hebrew editor's note.
RF ISA 38:21 Under the direction of Isaiah they had taken a cake of figs and pressed it upon the ulcer, and he had revived.
RF ISA 38:22 Then Hezekiah said, "What a wonder that I can go up to the House of the EVER-LIVING!'
