4Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to IsaiahH3470, sayingH559, 5“GoH1980 and sayH559 to HezekiahH2396, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of your fatherH1 DavidH1732 saysH559: “I have heardH8085 your prayerH8605, I have seenH7200 your tearsH1832; beholdH2009, I will addH3254 11fifteenH2568H6240 yearsH8141 to your 12lifeH3117. 6And I will 13saveH5337 you and thisH2088 cityH5892 from the handH3709 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804; and I will protectH1598 thisH2088 cityH5892.”’
7“And thisH2088 shall be the 14signH226 to you from the LordH3068, that the LordH3068 will performH6213 thisH2088 wordH1697 that He has spokenH1696: 8BeholdH2009, I will 15makeH7725 the shadowH6738 on the stairwayH4609, whichH834 has goneH3381 downH3381 with the sunH8121 on the stairwayH4609 of AhazH271, goH7725 backH322 tenH6235 stepsH4609.” So the 16sun’sH8121 shadow wentH7725 backH7725 tenH6235 stepsH4609 on the stairwayH4609 on whichH834 it had goneH3381 downH3381.
