Exegesis
The temporal phrase beyāmāy {בְּיָמָֽי | bə-yāmāy} confines the promise to Hezekiah’s lifetime. English preserves these relationships with “for” and “during my lifetime.”
In context — Isaiah 39:8
And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “Good is the word of the LORD which you have spoken.” And he said, “For there will be peace and truth in my days.”
