dove, so I will rehearse, for my eyes failed to look into the height of heaven at the
Lord, who rescued me 15 and removed the pain of my soul.´ 16 For it was reported to
you, O Lord, concerning this. You aroused my breath; I was comforted, and I lived.
17 For you chose my soul so that it might not perish; you threw all my sins behind me.
18 For those who are in Hades will not praise you, nor will those who are dead bless you,
nor will those who are in Hades hope for your mercy. 19 Those who are living will bless

your righteousness, 20 O Lord of my salvation. I will not cease blessing you with a harp
all the days of my life in front of the house of God."

from Babylon." 4 Isaiah said, "What did they see in your house?" Hezekiah said, "They
saw all the things which are in my house. There is nothing in my house which they did
not see, not even the things which are in my storerooms." 5 Isaiah said to him, "Hear
the word of the Lord of sabaóth. 6 `Behold, days are coming,´ says the Lord, `and they
will take all the things which are in your house. Whatever your fathers gathered until
this day will go to Babylon, and they will leave nothing behind.´ God also said, 7 `For
