In those days Hezekiah was sick unto the death; and Isaiah, the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, The Lord God saith these things, Command or Dispose to thine house, that is, make thy testament, for thou shalt die, and thou shalt not live.
Lo! my bitterness is most bitter in peace; forsooth thou hast delivered my soul, that it perished not; thou hast cast away behind thy back all my sins.
When thou shalt go by waters, I shall be with thee, and floods shall not cover thee; when thou shalt go in fire, thou shalt not be burnt, and flame shall not burn in thee.
Lord, I heard thy praising, and I dreaded; Lord, it is thy work, in the middle of years, quicken thou it. In the middle of years, thou shalt make thyself known; when thou shalt be wroth, thou shalt have mind of mercy.
Temptation take not you, but man’s temptation; for God is true, which shall not suffer you to be tempted above that that ye may; but he shall make with temptation also purveyance, that ye may suffer [or sustain].
so that on the contrary ye rather forgive and comfort, lest peradventure he that is such a manner man, be swallowed up, [or be sopped up, or despair], by more great heaviness.
