  9. Isaiah 38:13-22

Isaiah 38:13-22

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.

  4. O LORD, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.

  5. Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

  6. For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.

  7. The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.

  8. The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.

  9. For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover.

  10. Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?
