希西家王清早起来,聚集城里的首领都上耶和华的殿。
Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD.
牵了七只公牛,七只公羊,七只羊羔,七只公山羊,要为国,为殿,为犹大人作赎罪祭。王吩咐亚伦的子孙众祭司,献在耶和华的坛上,
And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of the LORD.
王又派利未人在耶和华殿中敲钹,鼓瑟,弹琴,乃照大卫和他先见迦得,并先知拿单所吩咐的,就是耶和华藉先知所吩咐的。
And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the commandment of the LORD by his prophets.
希西家王与众首领又吩咐利未人用大卫和先见亚萨的诗词颂赞耶和华。他们就欢欢喜喜地颂赞耶和华,低头敬拜。
Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise unto the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.
希西家说,你们既然归耶和华为圣,就要前来把祭物和感谢祭奉到耶和华殿里。会众就把祭物和感谢祭奉来,凡甘心乐意的也将燔祭奉来。
Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a free heart burnt offerings.
又有分别为圣之物,公牛六百只,绵羊三千只。
And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
燔祭和平安祭牲的脂油,并燔祭同献的奠祭甚多。这样,耶和华殿中的事务俱都齐备了(或作就整顿了)。
And also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of the LORD was set in order.

Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
惟愿我的景况如从前的月份,如神保守我的日子。
Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
我愿如壮年的时候,那时我在帐棚中。神待我有密友之情。
As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
