Isaiah 31–38 | The Highway of Holiness and Hezekiah’s Prayer

*All Sleepy Scriptures episodes are now uninterrupted by ads once the reading begins.* In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we continue through the book of Isaiah with chapters 31 through 38 from the King James Version.These chapters call God’s people away from misplaced trust and back to the Lord, who defends, delivers, and saves. Isaiah speaks of righteousness, peace, quietness, and assurance, and gives a beautiful vision of restoration: the wilderness rejoicing, the desert blossoming as the rose, and a highway called the way of holiness.The reading also brings us into the days of King Hezekiah, when Jerusalem is threatened by Assyria. In his distress, Hezekiah goes before the Lord in prayer, and God answers with deliverance. Later, when Hezekiah is sick unto death, the Lord hears his tears and adds years to his life.Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Isaiah chapters 31 to 38 guide us through warning, hope, prayer, healing, and the saving power of God.Highlighted VersesIsaiah 31:5“As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.”Isaiah 32:17“And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.”Isaiah 33:2“O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.”Isaiah 33:22“For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.”Isaiah 35:1“The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.”Isaiah 35:8“And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness.”Isaiah 35:10“And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads.”Isaiah 37:20“Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD, even thou only.”Isaiah 38:17“Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption.”Sleepy Scriptures, Isaiah 31-38, Isaiah chapters 31 to 38, Isaiah KJV, King James Bible, KJV Bible reading, Bible reading for sleep, Scripture for sleep, peaceful Bible reading, relaxing Bible reading, Christian sleep meditation, one year Bible, Bible in a year, Old Testament reading, Isaiah prophecy, Hezekiah prayer, Hezekiah healed, Jerusalem delivered, Assyria and Jerusalem, highway of holiness, desert shall blossom as the rose, quietness and assurance, Isaiah 32:17, the LORD is our king, Isaiah 33:22, ransomed of the LORD, Christian meditation, calming scripture, bedtime Bible reading, sleep Bible, soothing Bible narration, peaceful Christian video, Bible verses for rest.
