1 In those days Hezekiah was sick and dying. Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, “the Lord says, ‘Set your house in order; for you will die, and not live.’”
2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying,
3 “Remember now, Lord, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
4 Before Isaiah had gone out into the middle part of the city, the Lord’s word came to him, saying,
5 “Turn back, and tell Hezekiah the prince of my people, ‘the Lord, the God of David your father, says, “I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On the third day, you will go up to the Lord’s house.
6 I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.”’”
