*
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 .
