Isaiah 38:1-8

Isaiah 38:1-8

[1] In those days  was Hezekiah  sick  unto death.  And Isaiah  the prophet  the son  of Amoz  came  unto him, and said  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  sore.  [4] Then came the word  of the LORD  to Isaiah,  saying,  [5] Go,  and say  to Hezekiah,  Thus saith  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.  [7] And this shall be a sign  unto thee from the LORD,  will do  this thing  that he hath spoken;  [8] Behold, 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,  it was gone down.
