Isaiah 38:9-22
This is a writing of Hezekiah king of Judah after his illness and recovery:I said,“ In the middle of my life I am to enter the gates of Sheol; I have been deprived of the rest of my years.”I said,“ I will not see the Lord, The Lord in the land of the living; I will no longer look on mankind among the inhabitants of the world.Like a shepherd’s tent my dwelling is pulled up and removed from me; As a weaver I rolled up my life. He cuts me off from the loom; From day until night You make an end of me.I composed my soul until morning. Like a lion— so He breaks all my bones, From day until night You make an end of me.Like a swallow, like a crane, so I twitter; I moan like a dove; My eyes look wistfully to the heights; Lord, I am oppressed, be my security.“ What shall I say? For He has spoken to me, and He Himself has done it; I will walk quietly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.Lord, by these things people live, And in all these is the life of my spirit; Restore me to health and let me live!Behold, for my own welfare I had great bitterness; But You have kept my soul from the pit of nothingness, For You have hurled all my sins behind Your back.For Sheol cannot thank You, Death cannot praise You; Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness.It is the living who give thanks to You, as I do today; A father tells his sons about Your faithfulness.The Lord is certain to save me; So we will play my songs on stringed instruments All the days of our life at the house of the Lord.”Now Isaiah had said,“ Have them take a cake of figs and apply it to the boil, so that he may recover.”Then Hezekiah had said,“ What is the sign that I will go up to the house of the Lord?”

1 Samuel 25 33-1 Samuel 25 36
and blessed be your discernment, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodshed and from avenging myself by my own hand.Nevertheless, as the Lord God of Israel lives, who has restrained me from harming you, if you had not come quickly to meet me, there certainly would not have been left to Nabal until the morning light as much as one male.”So David accepted from her hand what she had brought him, and said to her,“ Go up to your house in peace. See, I have listened to you and granted your request.”Then Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, he was having a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal’s heart was cheerful within him, for he was very drunk; so she did not tell him anything at all until the morning light.

And He will yet deliver us,
