Hezekiah’s Illness and Recovery
1 a In those days b Hezekiah became sick and was at the point of death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him and said to him, “Thus says the Lord c ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die; you shall not recover.’” 2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, saying, 3 “Now, O Lord d please remember how I have walked before you in faithfulness and e with a whole heart f and have done what is good in your sight.” g And Hezekiah wept bitterly. 4 And before Isaiah had gone out of the middle court, the word of the Lord came to him: 5 “Turn back, and say to Hezekiah h the leader of my people, Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: i I have heard your prayer; j I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord, 6 and I will add fifteen years to your life. I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, k and I will defend this city for my own sake and for my servant David’s sake.”
