Isa 38:1-8

Back to Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible

Back to Isaiah.

Hezekiah's sickness and recovery. (1-8) His thanksgiving. (9-22)

1-8 When we pray in our sickness, though God send not to us such an answer as he here sent to Hezekiah, yet, if by his Spirit he bids us be of good cheer, assures us that our sins are forgiven, and that, whether we live or die, we shall be his, we do not pray in vain. See 2Kgs 20:1-11.
