Isaiah 38:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 38:9

7 And this is ^athe sign to you from the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing which He has spoken:

8 “Behold, I will bring the shadow on the sundial, which has gone down with the sun on the sundial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward.” So the sun returned ten degrees on the dial by which it had gone down.

9 This is the writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick and had recovered from his sickness:

10 I said,
“In the prime of my life
I shall go to the gates of Sheol;
I am deprived of the remainder of my years.”

11 I said,
“I shall not see¹ Yah,
The Lord ^ain the land of the living;
I shall observe man no more¹ among the inhabitants of the world.

12 ^aMy life span is gone,
Taken from me like a shepherd’s tent;
I have cut off my life like a weaver.
He cuts me off from the loom;
From day until night You make an end of me.
