Isaiah is not in PT1904.
1 And it came to pass at that time, [that] Hezekiah was sick even to death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, Thus saith the Lord, Give orders concerning thy house: for thou shalt die, and not live.
·
2 And Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying,
·
3 Remember, O Lord, how I have walked before thee in truth, with a true heart, and have done that which was pleasing in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
·
4 And the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, saying, Go, and say to Hezekiah,
·
5 Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, and seen thy tears: behold, I [will] add to thy time fifteen years.
·
6 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians: and I will defend this city.
·
7 And this [shall be] a sign to thee from the Lord, that God will do this thing;
·
8 behold, I will turn back the shadow of the degrees [of the dial] by which ten degrees on the house of thy father the sun has gone down—I will turn back the sun the ten degrees; so the sun went back the ten degrees by which the shadow had gone down.
·
9 The prayer of Hezekiah king of Judea, when he had been sick, and was recovered from his sickness.
·
10 I said in the end of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I shall part with the remainder of my years.
·
11 I said, I shall no more at all see the salvation of God in the land of the living: I shall no more at all see the salvation of Israel on the earth: I shall no more at all see man.
·
12 [My life] has failed from among my kindred: I have parted with the remainder of my life: it has gone forth and departed from me, as one that having pitched a tent takes it down [again]: my breath was with me as a weaver’s web, when she that weaves draws nigh to cut off [the] thread.
·
13 In that day I was given up as to a lion until the morning: so has he broken all my bones: for I was so given up from day [even] to night.
·
14 As a swallow, so will I cry, and as a dove, so do I mourn: for mine eyes have failed with looking to the height of heaven to the Lord, who has delivered me,
·
15 and removed the sorrow of my soul.
·
16 [Yea], O Lord, for it was told thee concerning this; and thou hast revived my breath; and I am comforted, and live.
·
17 For thou hast chosen my soul, that it should not perish: and thou hast cast all [my] sins behind me.
·
18 For they that are in the grave shall not praise thee, neither shall the dead bless thee, neither shall they that are in Hades hope for thy mercy.
·
19 The living shall bless thee, as I also [do]: for from this day shall I beget children, who shall declare thy righteousness,
·
20 O God of my salvation; and I will not cease blessing thee with the psaltery all the days of my life before the house of God.
·
21 Now Isaiah had said to Hezekiah; Take a cake of figs, and mash them, and apply them as a plaster, and thou shalt be well.
·
22 And Hezekiah said, This is a sign to Hezekiah, that I shall go up to the house of God.
