In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah 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.'"
2
Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD
3
and 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 sorely.
4
Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,
5
"Go, 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.
6
And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.
