Isaiah 38:16

Context

38:16 O sovereign master, your decrees can give men life;

may years of life be restored to me. 1 

Restore my health 2  and preserve my life.’

1 tn The translation offered here is purely speculative. The text as it stands is meaningless and probably corrupt. It reads literally, “O lord, on account of them [the suffix is masculine plural], they live, and to all in them [the suffix is feminine plural], life of my spirit.”

2 tn The prefixed verbal form could be taken as indicative, “you restore my health,” but the following imperatival form suggests it be understood as an imperfect of request.
