Hezekiah’s Illness and Recovery

1 ^aIn those days ^bHezekiah 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, ^dplease remember how I have walked before you in faithfulness and ^ewith a whole heart, ^fand have done what is good in your sight.” ^gAnd 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 ^hthe leader of my people, Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: ⁱI have heard your prayer; ^jI 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, ^kand I will defend this city for my own sake and for my servant David’s sake.”
