Isaiah 38 · Grade 4

I Have Seen Your Tears

Name Date

Read and Think

"In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death." Isaiah told him, "Set your house in order." Hezekiah prayed, "Remember now, Yahweh, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth." Then he wept bitterly.

Before Isaiah had gone far, God sent him back. "I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life." God also promised to defend Jerusalem from Assyria. For a sign, God made the shadow on the sundial of Ahaz go back ten steps.

After he recovered, Hezekiah wrote a song of thanks. "You have cast all my sins behind your back." He said, "The living, the living, he shall praise you.... The father shall make known your truth to the children." He promised to sing in Yahweh's house all his life.
