Unlike his younger contemporary Micah, he was, in all probability, an aristocrat; and during his long ministry (740-701 B.C., possibly, but not probably later) he bore testimony, as <a href="//christianbookshelf.org/mcfadyen/introduction_to_the_old_testament/isaiah.htm" title="continued">…</a><br></span><span class="citation">John Edgar McFadyen—</span><span class="citation2">Introduction to the Old Testament</span><p><div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/niv/isaiah/39-5.htm">Isaiah 39:5 NIV</a> • <a href="/nlt/isaiah/39-5.htm">Isaiah 39:5 NLT</a> • <a href="/esv/isaiah/39-5.htm">Isaiah 39:5 ESV</a> • <a href="/nasb/isaiah/39-5.htm">Isaiah 39:5 NASB</a> • <a href="/kjv/isaiah/39-5.htm">Isaiah 39:5 KJV</a> • <a href="//bibleapps.com/isaiah/39-5.htm">Isaiah 39:5 Bible Apps</a> • <a href="/isaiah/39-5.htm">Isaiah 39:5 Parallel</a> • <a href="/">Bible Hub</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="../isaiah/39-4.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Isaiah 39:4"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Isaiah 39:4" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="../isaiah/39-6.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Isaiah 39:6"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Isaiah 39:6" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="rightbox"><div class="padright"><div id="pic"><iframe width="100%" height="860" scrolling="no" src="//biblescan.com/mp/isaiah/39-5.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></div></div><div id="rightbox4"><div class="padright2"><div id="spons1"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td class="sp1"><script type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script><br /><br /><iframe src="//biblemenus.com/adframebhbl.htm" width="122" height="250" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe></td></tr></table></div></div></div> <div id="bot"><div align="center"><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><script type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script><br /><br /></div><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhparnew.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></body></html>
