*
In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death .
And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him ,
and said unto him ,
Thus saith the LORD ,
Set thine house in order ;
for thou shalt die ,
and not live .
*
Then he turned his face to the wall ,
and prayed unto the LORD ,
saying ,
*
I beseech thee ,
O LORD ,
remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart ,
and have done that which is good in thy sight .
And Hezekiah wept sore .
*
And it came to pass ,
afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court ,
that the word of the LORD came to him ,
saying ,
*
Turn again ,
and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people ,
Thus saith the LORD ,
the God of David thy father ,
I have heard thy prayer ,
I have seen thy tears :
behold ,
I will heal thee :
on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD .
*
And I will add unto thy days fifteen years ;
and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria ;
and I will defend this city for mine own sake ,
and for my servant David '
s sake .
*
And Isaiah said ,
Take a lump of figs .
And they took and laid it on the boil ,
and he recovered .
*
And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah ,
What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me ,
and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day ?
*
And Isaiah said ,
This sign shalt thou have of the LORD ,
that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken :
shall the shadow go forward ten degrees ,
or go back ten degrees ?
*
And Hezekiah answered ,
It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees :
nay ,
but let the shadow return backward ten degrees .
*
And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD :
and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward ,
by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz .
