Then said {H559} Hezekiah {H2396} to Isaiah {H3470}, Good {H2896} is the word {H1697} of the LORD {H3068} which thou hast spoken {H1696}. He said {H559} moreover, For there shall be peace {H7965} and truth {H571} in my days {H3117}.

Hizkiyahu said to Yesha'yahu, "The word of ADONAI which you have just told me is good"; because he thought, "At least peace and truth will continue during my lifetime."

Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of Jehovah which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.
