Joe: Alright, so we're talking about Isaiah 38, what can you tell us about it?
Bible Expert: Sure, Isaiah 38 is part of the book of Isaiah, which is a major part of the Old Testament. In it, King Hezekiah is sick and is about to die, but God speaks to him and tells him he will live, so he recovers.
Joe: That's wild! So why did God spare him?
Bible Expert: Well, Hezekiah was a righteous king and had faith in God. He also humbled himself before God and prayed earnestly. God heard his prayers and granted him a miraculous healing.
Joe: That's amazing! What else happens in the chapter?
Bible Expert: In response to his healing, Hezekiah writes a song of praise to God, which is included in the chapter. He also writes a poem in which he talks about how God has protected him and how he will live long enough to see his grandchildren.
Joe: Wow, that's really inspiring. Anything else?
Bible Expert: Yes, in the last part of the chapter, Isaiah prophesies that God will bring about a great deliverance. He prophecies that the people will be freed from their enemies, and that they will be able to rebuild their cities and live in peace.
Joe: That's amazing! So, it sounds like Isaiah 38 is a great chapter that teaches us about faith in God, trusting in his protection, and the hope of deliverance. Is that right?
Bible Expert: Absolutely. It's a great reminder that God is faithful and will always answer our prayers.
