nkjv - 2Kings:20:1-11

nkjv@2Kings:20:1 @ 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."'

nkjv@2Kings:20:2 @ Then he turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the LORD, saying,

nkjv@2Kings:20:3 @ "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.

nkjv@2Kings:20:4 @ And it happened, before Isaiah had gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

nkjv@2Kings:20:5 @ "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.

nkjv@2Kings:20:6 @ 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.""'

nkjv@2Kings:20:7 @ Then Isaiah said, "Take a lump of figs." So they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.

nkjv@2Kings:20:8 @ 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?"

nkjv@2Kings:20:9 @ 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?"

nkjv@2Kings:20:10 @ 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."

nkjv@2Kings:20:11 @ 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.
