以賽亞書 38:13-14 CUNPTS

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 38:1-22

CHAPTER XXVIHAD ISAIAH A GOSPEL FOR THE INDIVIDUAL?THE two narratives, in which Isaiah’s career culminates-that of the Deliverance of Jerusalem {Isaiah 36:1-22; Isaiah 37:1-38} and that of the Recovery of Hezekiah {Isaiah 38:1-22; Isaiah 39:1-8}-cannot fail, coming together as they do, to suggest to thoughtful readers a striking contrast between Isaiah’s treatment of the community and his treatment of the individual, between his treatment of the Church and his treatment of single members.

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Isaiah 38:1-22

CHAPTER 38 Hezekiah’s Sickness and Healing 1. Isaiah’s startling message (Isaiah 38:1 ) 2. Hezekiah’s prayer (Isaiah 38:2-3 ) 3. The prayer heard and the sign (Isaiah 38:4-8 ) 4. The king’s sorrow and joy, a psalm of praise (Isaiah 38:9-20 ) 5. The remedy for the recovery (Isaiah 38:21-22 ) The message of approaching death startled the king because at that time he had no son. If he had died what then would have become of the Messianic hope through the house of David? Beautiful it is... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 38:13

38:13 I reckoned {l} till morning, [that], as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day [even] to night wilt thou make an end of me.(l) Overnight I thought that I would live till morning, but my pangs in the night persuaded me the contrary: he shows the horror that the faithful have when they apprehend God’s judgment against their sin. read more

Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 38:14

38:14 Like a crane [or] a swallow, so I {m} chattered: I mourned as a dove: my eyes fail [with looking] upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me.(m) I was so oppressed with sorrow, that I was not able to utter my words, but only to groan and sigh. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 38:1-22

HISTORICAL PARENTHESIS These chapters are a dividing line between what may be called Parts 1 and 2 of this book. They deal with Hezekiah’s reign whose history has been considered in 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles. The chapters are not arranged chronologically, as the event of chapter 38, Hezekiah’s sickness and recovery, occurred prior to the siege of Sennacherib (chaps. 36-37). The prophecies preceding these chapters predict the rise of the Assyrian power as the enemy of Judah and God’s rod of... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 38:1-22

Hezekiah Warned Isaiah 38:0 Everything depends upon when that notice comes. Often the tenant of the body has been known to long for the termination of his lease. Hezekiah was not in that position, and he had no right to be in it. To have cut him off then would certainly have been to deprive him of the residue of his years, as he himself complains. Here is a man who was warned of his approaching death. Is there any peculiar significance in the announcement? There ought not to be. All life is a... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 38:9-22

9-22 We have here Hezekiah's thanksgiving. It is well for us to remember the mercies we receive in sickness. Hezekiah records the condition he was in. He dwells upon this; I shall no more see the Lord. A good man wishes not to live for any other end than that he may serve God, and have communion with him. Our present residence is like that of a shepherd in his hut, a poor, mean, and cold lodging, and with a trust committed to our charge, as the shepherd has. Our days are compared to the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 38:9-22

Hezekiah's Hymn of Praise v. 9. The writing of Hezekiah, king of Judah, when he had been sick and was recovered of his sickness, a psalm of thanksgiving composed and written by him: v. 10. I said in the cutting off of my days, rather, in the tranquility of my days, at the time of his life and reign when he could look forward to an undisturbed enjoyment of his kingly position, I shall go to the gates of the grave, the kingdom of death had opened before him in his illness; I am deprived of... read more

Isaiah 38:1-31In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, 1Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live. 2Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the Lord, 3and said,... read more
