Berean Standard Bible
In those days was
Hezekiah sick
unto
death
. And
the prophet Isaiah the
son of Amoz came to him ,
and said unto
him
, Thus
saith
the LORD ,
Set
thine
house in order ;
for thou
shalt
die ,
and
not live
.
In those days Hezekiah became
mortally
ill
. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz came to him and said, “This
is
what
the LORD says:
‘Put
your
house in order ,
for you
are
about
to
die ;
you
will
not recover
. ’”
Then he
turned his face to the wall ,
and prayed unto
the LORD, saying,
Then Hezekiah
turned his face to the wall and prayed to
the LORD, saying,
I
beseech
thee
, O LORD, remember now
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
.
“Please
, O LORD, remember how I have walked before You
faithfully
and with wholehearted
devotion;
I
have done what
was
good in Your
sight. ”
And Hezekiah wept bitterly
.
And
it
came
to
pass,
afore
Isaiah was
gone
out
into
the middle court
, that
the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
Before
Isaiah had
left
the middle courtyard
, the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
Turn
again,
and tell Hezekiah the captain
of my people ,
Thus
saith
the LORD, the God of David
thy
father, I have heard thy
prayer ,
I have seen thy
tears :
behold,
I will heal thee:
on the third day thou
shalt
go up unto
the house of the LORD.
“Go
back
and tell Hezekiah the leader
of My people that
this
is
what
the LORD, the God of your
father David
, says:
‘
I have heard your
prayer ;
I have seen your
tears .
I will surely
heal you.
On the third day from
now
you
will
go up to
the house of the LORD.
And
I will add unto
thy
days
fifteen years ;
and I will deliver thee
and this city out
of
the hand of the king of Assyria ;
and
I will defend this city for mine
own
sake ,
and for my servant David's
sake
.
I will add fifteen years to
your
life.
And I will deliver you
and this city from
the hand of the king of Assyria .
I will defend this city for My
sake and for the
sake
of
My servant David
. ’”
And
Isaiah said, Take
a lump
of figs. And
they took
and laid
it on
the boil, and he
recovered.
Then
Isaiah said, “Prepare
a poultice
of figs. ”
So
they brought
it
and applied
it to
the boil, and Hezekiah
recovered.
And
Hezekiah said
unto
Isaiah, What shall
be the sign that the LORD will heal me ,
and that I shall
go up into
the house of the LORD the third day?
Now
Hezekiah had
asked
Isaiah, “
What will
be the sign that the LORD will heal me and that I will
go up to
the house of the LORD on
the third day? ”
And Isaiah said
, This sign shalt
thou
have
of
the LORD ,
that the
LORD
will do the
thing
that
he hath
spoken
: shall
the shadow go forward ten degrees
, or go
back ten degrees
?
And Isaiah had
replied
, “
This will
be
a
sign to
you
from
the LORD that He
will do what
He has
promised
: Would
you
like
the shadow to
go forward ten steps
, or back ten steps
? ”
And
Hezekiah
answered,
It is a
light
thing
for the shadow to go
down
ten degrees:
nay
, but let
the
shadow
return
backward
ten degrees
.
“
It is easy
for the shadow to lengthen
ten steps
, ”
answered
Hezekiah,
“
but not
for
it
to
go
back
ten steps
. ”
And
Isaiah the prophet cried
unto
the LORD :
and he brought the shadow ten degrees
backward,
by
which
it had gone
down
in
the dial
of Ahaz.
So
Isaiah the prophet called
out
to
the LORD ,
and He brought the shadow back
the
ten steps
it had descended
on
the stairway
of Ahaz.
At that time Berodachbaladan,
the
son of Baladan ,
king of Babylon ,
sent letters and a present
unto
Hezekiah :
for he had heard that
Hezekiah
had
been
sick
.
At that time Merodach-baladan
son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a gift
to
Hezekiah ,
for he had heard about
Hezekiah’s
illness
.
And Hezekiah hearkened
unto
them,
and showed them all the
house
of
his precious
things,
the silver, and
the gold, and
the spices, and the precious ointment
, and
all
the
house
of
his armor,
and
all that was found in his treasures:
there was nothing in his house,
nor
in all his dominion ,
that Hezekiah showed
them
not.
And Hezekiah received
the
envoys
and showed them all that
was
in
his treasure
house—
the silver, the gold, the spices, and the precious oil
, as
well
as
his armory—
all that was found in his storehouses.
There was nothing in his palace
or
in all his dominion that Hezekiah did
not show
them
.
Then came
Isaiah
the prophet unto
king Hezekiah ,
and said
unto
him
, What
said
these
men ?
and
from whence
came
they unto
thee
? And
Hezekiah
said,
They are
come
from a far
country
, even
from Babylon.
Then the prophet Isaiah
went
to
King Hezekiah and asked
, “Where
did
those
men come
from ,
and
what
did
they say
to
you
? ”
“
They came
from a distant
land
, ”
Hezekiah
replied,
“
from Babylon. ”
And
he
said,
What have they seen in thine
house
? And
Hezekiah
answered,
All
the
things
that
are
in
mine
house
have
they seen :
there is nothing among my treasures that I have
not showed
them.
“
What have they seen in your
palace
? ”
Isaiah
asked.
“
They have
seen everything
in
my
palace,”
answered
Hezekiah.
“
There is nothing among my treasures that I did
not show
them. ”
And
Isaiah said unto
Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD .
Then
Isaiah said to
Hezekiah, “
Hear the word of the LORD :
Behold,
the days
come ,
that
all
that
is
in thine
house,
and that which
thy
fathers have laid
up in
store
unto
this day ,
shall
be carried into
Babylon :
nothing shall
be left, saith
the LORD.
The time
will
surely
come when
everything
in your
palace
and all
that your
fathers have stored
up until
this day will
be carried off
to
Babylon .
Nothing will
be left, says
the LORD.
And of thy
sons
that
shall
issue
from
thee
, which
thou
shalt
beget
, shall
they
take
away ;
and
they
shall
be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
And some
of your
descendants
, your
own
flesh
and
blood
, will
be
taken
away to
be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon. ”
Then
said
Hezekiah unto
Isaiah, Good
is
the word of the LORD which
thou
hast
spoken. And
he said
, Is
it
not good,
if
peace and truth
be
in my days
?
But
Hezekiah said
to
Isaiah, “
The word of the LORD that
you
have
spoken is
good
. ”
For
he thought
, “Will
there
not at
least
be
peace and security
in my lifetime
? ”
And
the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and
all his might ,
and how he made
a
pool ,
and a
conduit,
and
brought
water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
As
for
the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, along
with
all his might and how he constructed
the
pool and the
tunnel
to
bring
water into the city, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
And Hezekiah slept
with his fathers :
and Manasseh
his son reigned in his stead
.
And Hezekiah rested
with his fathers ,
and his son Manasseh
reigned in his place
.
