* In those days Hezekiah was sick to death , and Isaiah the prophet , the son of Amoz , came to him and said to him , So says Jehovah , Order your house , for you are dying , and shall not live . * And he turned his face to the wall , and prayed to Jehovah , saying , * I pray to You , O Jehovah , please remember how I have walked always before your face in truth , and with a perfect heart , and I have done the good in Your eyes . And Hezekiah wept with a great weeping . * And it happened when Isaiah had not gone out to the middle court , the word of Jehovah came to him , saying , * Return , and you shall say to Hezekiah the leader of My people , So says Jehovah , the God of your father David , I have heard your prayer ; I have seen your tears ; behold , I will heal you ; you shall go up to the house of Jehovah the third day . * And I have added fifteen years to your days ; and I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria , and shall defend this city for My own sake , and for My servant David 's sake . * And Isaiah said , Take a cake of figs ; and they took and laid it on the boil ; and he recovered . * And Hezekiah said to Isaiah , What will be the sign that Jehovah will heal me , that I will go up on the third day to the house of Jehovah ? * And Isaiah said , This will be the sign to you from Jehovah , that Jehovah will do the thing that He has spoken : Shall the shadow go forward ten steps , or shall it turn back ten steps ? * And Hezekiah said , It would be a light thing for the shadow to go down ten steps ; no , but let the shadow go back ten steps . * And Isaiah the prophet cried to Jehovah ; and He brought back the shadow by the steps the shadow had gone down on the sundial of Ahaz , ten steps backward .
