Isaiah 38:1–8

^*aIn those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And ^bIsaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, ^†Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live. ²Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and ^cprayed unto the Lord, ³And said, Remember now, O Lord, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept ^†sore. ⁴Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying, ⁵Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. ⁶And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and ^dI will defend this city. ⁷And this shall be a sign unto thee from the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing that he hath spoken; ^8eBehold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the ^†sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.
