Daniel 9:25-27
New Living Translation
25 Now listen and understand! Seven sets of seven plus sixty-two sets of seven[a] will pass from the time the command is given to rebuild Jerusalem until a ruler—the Anointed One[b]—comes. Jerusalem will be rebuilt with streets and strong defenses,[c] despite the perilous times.
26 “After this period of sixty-two sets of seven,[d] the Anointed One will be killed, appearing to have accomplished nothing, and a ruler will arise whose armies will destroy the city and the Temple. The end will come with a flood, and war and its miseries are decreed from that time to the very end. 27 The ruler will make a treaty with the people for a period of one set of seven,[e] but after half this time, he will put an end to the sacrifices and offerings. And as a climax to all his terrible deeds,[f] he will set up a sacrilegious object that causes desecration,[g] until the fate decreed for this defiler is finally poured out on him.”

5 “Go back to Hezekiah and tell him, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your ancestor David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will add fifteen years to your life, 6 and I will rescue you and this city from the king of Assyria. Yes, I will defend this city.
7 “‘And this is the sign from the Lord to prove that he will do as he promised: 8 I will cause the sun’s shadow to move ten steps backward on the sundial[a] of Ahaz!’” So the shadow on the sundial moved backward ten steps.
Hezekiah’s Poem of Praise
9 When King Hezekiah was well again, he wrote this poem:
10 I said, “In the prime of my life,
must I now enter the place of the dead?[b]
Am I to be robbed of the rest of my years?”
11 I said, “Never again will I see the Lord God
while still in the land of the living.
Never again will I see my friends
or be with those who live in this world.
12 My life has been blown away
like a shepherd’s tent in a storm.
It has been cut short,
as when a weaver cuts cloth from a loom.
Suddenly, my life was over.
13 I waited patiently all night,
but I was torn apart as though by lions.
Suddenly, my life was over.
14 Delirious, I chattered like a swallow or a crane,
and then I moaned like a mourning dove.
My eyes grew tired of looking to heaven for help.
I am in trouble, Lord. Help me!”
15 But what could I say?
For he himself sent this sickness.
Now I will walk humbly throughout my years
because of this anguish I have felt.
16 Lord, your discipline is good,
for it leads to life and health.
You restore my health
and allow me to live!
17 Yes, this anguish was good for me,
for you have rescued me from death
and forgiven all my sins.
18 For the dead[c] cannot praise you;
they cannot raise their voices in praise.
Those who go down to the grave
can no longer hope in your faithfulness.
19 Only the living can praise you as I do today.
Each generation tells of your faithfulness to the next.
20 Think of it—the Lord is ready to heal me!
I will sing his praises with instruments
every day of my life
in the Temple of the Lord.
Isaiah 38:5-20
New International Version
Isaiah 38:5-20
New International Version
5 “Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your father David,(A) says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears;(B) I will add fifteen years(C) to your life. 6 And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend(D) this city.
7 “‘This is the Lord’s sign(E) to you that the Lord will do what he has promised: 8 I will make the shadow cast by the sun go back the ten steps it has gone down on the stairway of Ahaz.’” So the sunlight went back the ten steps it had gone down.(F)
9 A writing of Hezekiah king of Judah after his illness and recovery:
10 I said, “In the prime of my life(G)
must I go through the gates of death(H)
and be robbed of the rest of my years?(I)”
11 I said, “I will not again see the Lord himself(J)
in the land of the living;(K)
no longer will I look on my fellow man,
or be with those who now dwell in this world.
12 Like a shepherd’s tent(L) my house
has been pulled down(M) and taken from me.
Like a weaver I have rolled(N) up my life,
and he has cut me off from the loom;(O)
day and night(P) you made an end of me.
13 I waited patiently(Q) till dawn,
but like a lion he broke(R) all my bones;(S)
day and night(T) you made an end of me.
14 I cried like a swift or thrush,
I moaned like a mourning dove.(U)
My eyes grew weak(V) as I looked to the heavens.
I am being threatened; Lord, come to my aid!”(W)
15 But what can I say?(X)
He has spoken to me, and he himself has done this.(Y)
I will walk humbly(Z) all my years
because of this anguish of my soul.(AA)
16 Lord, by such things people live;
and my spirit finds life in them too.
You restored me to health
and let me live.(AB)
17 Surely it was for my benefit(AC)
that I suffered such anguish.(AD)
In your love you kept me
from the pit(AE) of destruction;
you have put all my sins(AF)
behind your back.(AG)
18 For the grave(AH) cannot praise you,
death cannot sing your praise;(AI)
those who go down to the pit(AJ)
cannot hope for your faithfulness.
19 The living, the living—they praise(AK) you,
as I am doing today;
parents tell their children(AL)
about your faithfulness.
