2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord:
3 "Please, Lord, remember how I’ve walked before you in truth and sincerity. I’ve done what you consider to be good." Then Hezekiah cried and cried.
4 Then the Lord’s word came to Isaiah:
5 "Go and say to Hezekiah: The Lord, the God of your ancestor David, says this: I have heard your prayer and have seen your tears. I will add fifteen years to your life.
