Isaias

3 And said, Ah LORD, remember, I pray thee, how that I have walked before thee in truth and with whole heart, and have done that which is good in thine eyes. And Hezekiah wept, a great weeping.

4 And the word of the LORD came to Isaiah, saying,

5 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 am adding to thy days fifteen years.

6 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the grasp of the king of Assyria, and I will protect this city.

7 And this shall be the sign unto thee from the Lord, that the LORD will do this thing which he hath spoken

8 Behold, I am turning the shadow of the steps, which it has gone down on the steps. of Ahaz by the sun, ten steps back- ward. And the sun returned ten steps, on the steps whereon it was gone down.

9 Α writing of Hezekiah, king of Judah, when he had been sick, and come to life from his sickness:

10 I said, In the stillness of my days I shall go into the gates of hell; I am deprived of the residue of my years.

11 I said, I shall not see Jah, Jab in the land of the living; Ι shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of ceasing.

12 My habitation is plucked up, and carried away from me like a ’s tent. I have rolled up, like a weaver, my life; he ’ cutteth me off from the thrum; from day to night thou wilt make an end of me.
