1In 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.'"
“In those days, Hezekiah was sick and near death and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said, thus says the Lord, set your house in order for you shall die and not live.”
“in those days was Hezekiah sick unto death, and the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amos, came to him and said unto him, thus saith the Lord, set thy house in order, for thou shalt die and not live.”
2Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD, saying,
“Then he turned his face toward the wall and prayed to the Lord, saying,”
“Then he turned his face to the wall and prayed unto the Lord, saying,”
“Then he turned his face to the wall and prayed unto the Lord.”
3"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.
“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.”
“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 my sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.”
“Remember now, O Lord, I pray, how I have walked before you in truth and with a loyal heart and have done which was good in your sight. And Hezekiah wept bitterly.”
4Before Isaiah had left the middle courtyard, the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
“And it happened before Isaiah had gone out into the middle court that the word of the Lord came to him saying,”
“And it came to pass, before Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the Lord came to him, saying,”
“And it came to pass before Isaiah was gone out into the middle court that the word of the Lord came to him, saying,”
5"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.
“return and tell Hezekiah, the leader of my people. Thus says the Lord, the God of David, your father. I've heard your prayer. I've seen your tears. Surely I will heal you. On the third day, you shall go up to the house of the…”
6I 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 I will add to your days fifteen years and I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. And I will defend this city for my own sake and for the sake of my servant David.”
“And I will add to your life 15 years. And I will deliver you in this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria. And I will defend this city for my own sake and for my servant David's sake.”
7Then Isaiah said, "Prepare a poultice of figs." So they brought it and applied it to the boil, and Hezekiah recovered.
“and Isaiah said, take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.”
“Then Isaiah said, Take a lump of fig. So they took it and laid it on the boil and he recovered.”
8Now 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 Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What is the sign that the Lord will heal me and that I shall go up to the house of the Lord on the third day?”
9And 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?"
“Then Isaiah said, this is the sign to you from the Lord that the Lord will do the thing which he has spoken. Shall the shadow go forward ten degrees or go backward ten degrees?”
10"It is easy for the shadow to lengthen ten steps," answered Hezekiah, "but not for it to go back ten steps."
“And Hezekiah answered, It's an easy thing for the shadow to go down 10 degrees. No, but let the shadow go backward 10 degrees.”
11So 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.
“So Isaiah the prophet cried out to the Lord and he brought the shadow 10 degrees backward by which it had gone down on the sundial of Ahaz.”
12At 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.
“At that time Berodek Baladon, the son of Baladon, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah, for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.”
13And 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.
“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.…”
14Then 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."
“Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, What did these men say? And from where have they come to you? And Hezekiah said, They have come from a far country, from Babylon.”
“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 came Isaiah the prophet to the king, Hezekiah, and said to him, What said these men? And from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, and to me even from Babylon.”
15"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."
“He said to them, What have they seen in your house? So Hezekiah answered, They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasuries that I have not shown them.”
“And he said, what have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, all the things that are in thine house have they seen. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them.”
16Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Hear the word of the LORD:
“Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the Lord.”
“Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, hear the word of the Lord.”
“and Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, hear the word of the Lord.”
17The 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.
“Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house and what your fathers have accumulated until this day shall be carried to Babylon. Nothing shall be left, says 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 to Babylon. Nothing shall be left, saith the Lord.”
“Behold the days are coming. When all that is in your house and all your fathers have laid up in store to this day shall be carried to Babylon nothing shall be left says the Lord”
18And some of your descendants, your own flesh and blood, will be taken away to be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon."
“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 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 they shall take away some of your sons who will descend from you, whom you will beget, and they will be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”
“And they shall take away some of your sons who will descend from you whom ye will beget and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”
“And of thy sons that shall issue from thee which thou shalt beget, they shall take away. And they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”
19But 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?"
“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 of truth be in my days?”
20As 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 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?”
21And Hezekiah rested with his fathers, and his son Manasseh reigned in his place.
