* In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death . And Isaiah the prophet , the son of Amoz , went to him and said to him , "Thus says the LORD : "Set your house in order , for you shall die , and not live ."' * Then he turned his face toward the wall , and prayed to the LORD , saying , * "Remember now , O LORD , I pray , how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart , and have done what was good in Your sight ." And Hezekiah wept bitterly . * And it happened , before Isaiah had gone out into the middle court , that the word of the LORD came to him , saying , * "Return and tell Hezekiah the leader of My people , "Thus says the LORD , the God of David your father : "I have heard your prayer , I have seen your tears ; surely I will heal you . On the third day you shall go up to the house of the LORD . * And I will add to your days fifteen years . I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria ; and I will defend this city for My own sake , and for the sake of My servant David .""' * Then Isaiah said , "Take a lump of figs ." So they took and laid it on the boil , and he recovered . * And Hezekiah said to Isaiah , "What is the sign that the LORD will heal me , and that I shall go up to the house of the LORD the third day ?" * Then Isaiah said , "This is the sign to you from the LORD , that the LORD will do the thing which He has spoken : shall the shadow go forward ten degrees or go backward ten degrees ?" * And Hezekiah answered , "It is an easy thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees ; no , but let the shadow go backward ten degrees ." * So Isaiah the prophet cried out to the LORD , and He brought the shadow ten degrees backward , by which it had gone down on the sundial of Ahaz .
