Isaiah 38:21-22

Names of God Bible

²¹^[a] Then Isaiah said, “Take a fig cake, and place it over the boil so that the king will get well.”

²²Hezekiah asked, “What is the sign that I’ll go to Yahweh’s temple?”

Isaiah 38:21 Verses 21 and 22 have been placed after verse 6 to communicate the order of the account more clearly in English. According to most scholars, if these verses were originally in Isaiah 38, they most likely ended up being misplaced. See 2 Kings 20:7–8 for the proper placement of these verses in the narrative.
