⁸ Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which you have said. And he said in his heart, There will be peace and quiet in my days.

²⁸ See, I will let you go to your fathers, and be put in your last resting-place in peace, and your eyes will not see all the evil which I will send on this place and on its people. So they took this news back to the king.

²⁶ But then, Hezekiah, in sorrow for what he had done, put away his pride; and he and all Jerusalem made themselves low, so that the wrath of the Lord did not come on them in Hezekiah's life-time.

⁶ For this cause make yourselves low under the strong hand of God, so that when the time comes you may be lifted up;

¹⁹ This is what the Lord of armies has said: The times of going without food in the fourth month and in the fifth and the seventh and the tenth months, will be for the people of Judah times of joy and happy meetings; so be lovers of good faith and of peace.

¹⁶ These are the things which you are to do: Let every man say what is true to his neighbour; and let your judging give peace in your towns.

³⁹ What protest may a living man make, even a man about the punishment of his sin?

²² It is through the Lord's love that we have not come to destruction, because his mercies have no limit.

⁹ I was quiet, and kept my mouth shut; because you had done it.

²¹ With nothing I came out of my mother's body, and with nothing I will go back there; the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; let the Lord's name be praised.

²⁶ But if he says, I have no delight in you: then, here I am; let him do to me what seems good to him.

¹⁸ Then Samuel gave him an account of everything, keeping nothing back. And he said, It is the Lord; let him do what seems good to him.

³ Then Moses said to Aaron, This is what the Lord said, I will be holy in the eyes of all those who come near to me, and I will be honoured before all the people. And Aaron said nothing.
