Isaiah 38:6

Isaiah 38:1-8

¹In those days Hezekiah fell sick to the point of death. And Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, came to him and said to him, “Thus says YHWH: ‘Give orders to your house, for you are going to die and will not live.’” ²Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to YHWH, ³and said, “Ah, YHWH, remember, please, how I have walked before you in truth and with a whole heart, and have done what is good in your eyes.” And Hezekiah wept with great weeping. ⁴The word of YHWH came to Isaiah, saying, ⁵“Go and say to Hezekiah, ‘Thus says YHWH, the Elohim of David your father: I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Look, I am adding to your days fifteen years. ⁶And from the hand of the king of Assyria I will deliver you and this city; and I will protect this city. ⁷And this shall be to you the sign from YHWH, that YHWH will do this thing that he has spoken: ⁸Look, I am bringing back the shadow on the steps, which has gone down on the steps of Ahaz with the sun, backward ten steps.’” And the sun went back ten steps on the steps by which it had gone down.

2 Kings 20:1-11

¹In those days Hezekiah fell sick to the point of death. And Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, came to him and said to him, “Thus says YHWH: ‘Give orders to your house, for you are going to die and will not live.’” ²He turned his face to the wall and prayed to YHWH, saying, ³“Ah, YHWH, remember, please, how I have walked before you in truth and with a whole heart, and have done what is good in your eyes.” And Hezekiah wept with great weeping. ⁴And it happened, when Isaiah had not yet gone out of the middle court, that the word of YHWH came to him, saying, ⁵“Go back and say to Hezekiah, the leader of my people, ‘Thus says YHWH, the Elohim of David your father: I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Look, I will heal you; on the third day you shall go up to the house of YHWH. ⁶And I will add to your days fifteen years, and from the hand of the king of Assyria I will deliver you and this city; and I will protect this city for my own sake and for the sake of David my servant.’” ⁷Isaiah said, “Take a cake of figs.” They took it and put it on the boil, and he lived. ⁸Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “What is the sign that YHWH will heal me and that I will go up on the third day to the house of YHWH?” ⁹Isaiah said, “This shall be to you the sign from YHWH, that YHWH will do the thing that he has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?” ¹⁰Hezekiah said, “It is easy for the shadow to lengthen ten steps; no, but let the shadow turn back ten steps backward.” ¹¹Isaiah the prophet cried out to YHWH, and he brought back the shadow on the steps, by which it had gone down on the steps of Ahaz, backward ten steps.

2 Chronicles 32:24-26

²⁴In those days Hezekiah became sick to the point of death; he prayed to YHWH, and he spoke to him and gave him a wonder. ²⁵But Hezekiah did not repay according to the benefit done to him, for his heart was lifted up; and there was wrath upon him and upon Judah and Jerusalem. ²⁶Then Hezekiah humbled himself for the lifting up of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the wrath of YHWH did not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah.
