In those days Hezekiah had become sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him and said to him, Thus says Jehovah: Set your house in order, for you are dying, and shall not live.

Their soul abhors all kinds of food, and they draw near to the gates of death.

For all this I took to heart, in order to explain it: that the righteous and the wise and their works are in the hand of God. No man knows, whether by love or hatred, all that is before them.

All happens alike to everyone; there is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him who sacrifices, and to him who does not sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner. He who swears is as he who fears an oath.

But it happened in those days that she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.

He will deliver you in six troubles; yea, in seven no evil shall touch you:

i1 [A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the House of David.] i0 par I will exalt You, O Jehovah, for You have lifted me up, and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me.

O Jehovah, You have brought up my soul from Sheol; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the Pit.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Jehovah delivers him out of them all.

Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases,

who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

Then they cry out unto Jehovah in their adversity, and He delivers them out of their distresses.

Oh, that men would give thanks unto Jehovah for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the sons of men!

Behold, instead of peace I was bitter with bitterness; but You have delighted in delivering my soul from the pit of corruption. You have cast all my sins behind Your back.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; nor shall the flame consume you.

Then he gave her his hand and lifted her up; and when he had called the saints and widows, he presented her alive.

O Jehovah, correct me, but with justice; not in Your anger, lest You bring me to nothing.

You said, Woe is me now, for Jehovah has added grief to my sorrow. I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.

Jehovah, I have heard the report of You, and am afraid. Jehovah, preserve Your work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember compassion.

No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also provide a way out, that you may be able to bear it.
