In those days hath Hezekiah been sick unto death, and come in unto him doth Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, and saith unto him, ‘Thus said JEHOVAH: Give a charge to thy house, for thou [art] dying, and dost not live.’
And Hezekiah turneth round his face unto the wall, and prayeth unto JEHOVAH,
and saith, ‘I pray thee, O JEHOVAH, remember, I pray Thee, how I have walked habitually before Thee in truth, and with a perfect heart, and that which [is] good in thine eyes I have done;’ and Hezekiah weepeth — a great weeping.
And a word of JEHOVAH is unto Isaiah, saying,
Go, and thou hast said to Hezekiah, Thus said JEHOVAH, God of David thy father, ‘I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tear, lo, I am adding to thy days fifteen years,
and out of the hand of the king of Asshur I deliver thee and this city, and have covered over this city.
And this [is] to thee the sign from JEHOVAH, that JEHOVAH doth this thing that He hath spoken.
Lo, I am bringing back the shadow of the degrees that it hath gone down on the degrees of Ahaz, by the sun, backward ten degrees:’ and the sun turneth back ten degrees in the degrees that it had gone down.
