Isaiah 38:16

Hezekiah's Illness

¹⁵
“What shall I say?
For He has spoken to me, and He Himself has done it;
I will wander aimlessly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.
¹⁶ 
“O Lord, by these things men live,
And in all these is the life of my spirit;
Restore me to health and let me live!
¹⁷
“Indeed, it was for my own well-being that I had such bitterness;
But You have loved back my life from the pit of nothingness (destruction),
For You have cast all my sins behind Your back.
