And 3IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 cameH935 to him and saidH559 to him, “ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, ‘4SetH6680 your houseH1004 in orderH6680, for you shall dieH4191 and not liveH2421.’” 2Then HezekiahH2396 turnedH5437 his faceH6440 to the wallH7023 and prayedH6419 to the LordH3068, 3and saidH559, “5RememberH2142 nowH4994, OH577 LordH3068, I beseechH577 You, howH834 I have 6walkedH1980 beforeH6440 You in truthH571 and with a 7wholeH8003 heartH3820, and 8have doneH6213 whatH2896 is goodH2896 in Your sightH5869.” And HezekiahH2396 9weptH1058 10bitterlyH1419.
4Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to IsaiahH3470, sayingH559, 5“GoH1980 and sayH559 to HezekiahH2396, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of your fatherH1 DavidH1732, “I have heardH8085 your prayerH8605, I have seenH7200 your tearsH1832; beholdH2009, I will addH3254 11fifteenH2568H6240 yearsH8141 to your 12lifeH3117. 6I will 13deliverH5337 you and thisH2088 cityH5892 from the handH3709 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804; and I will defendH1598 thisH2088 cityH5892.”’
7“ThisH2088 shall be the 14signH226 to you from the LordH3068, that the LordH3068 will doH6213 thisH2088 thingH1697 that He has spokenH1696: 8BeholdH2009, I will 15causeH7725 the shadowH6738 on the stairwayH4609, whichH834 has goneH3381 downH3381 with the sunH8121 on the stairwayH4609 of AhazH271, to goH7725 backH322 tenH6235 stepsH4609.” So the 16sun’sH8121 shadow wentH7725 backH7725 tenH6235 stepsH4609 on the stairwayH4609 on whichH834 it had goneH3381 downH3381.
