Isaiah 38:1-5 ▼

1 During that time, Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. Then Amoz's son Isaiah the prophet came to him and told him, |This is what the LORD says: 'Put your house in order, because you are going to die. You won't recover.'|

2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD.

3 |Please, LORD,| he said, |Remember how I have walked before you faithfully and with a true heart, and I have done what pleases you.| And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

4 Then this message from the LORD came to Isaiah:

5 |Go tell Hezekiah, 'This is what the LORD God of your ancestor David has to say: |I've heard your prayer and I've seen your tears; so I will add fifteen years to your life.
