Hezekiah's Illness and Prayer for Life

Isaiah 38:1-8

About that time was Hezekiah sicke vnto the death, and the Prophet Isaiah sonne of Amoz came vnto him, and sayd vnto him, Thus sayth the Lord, Put thine house in an order, for thou shalt dye, and not liue.

Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord,

And saide, I beseeche thee, Lord, remember nowe howe I haue walked before thee in trueth, and with a perfite heart, and haue done that which is good in thy sight: and Hezekiah wept sore.

Then came the worde of the Lord to Isaiah, saying,

Goe, and say vnto Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord God of Dauid thy father, I haue heard thy prayer, and seene thy teares: behold, I will adde vnto thy dayes fifteene yeeres.

And I will deliuer thee out of the hand of the King of Asshur, and this citie: for I will defende this citie.

And this signe shalt thou haue of ye Lord, that ye Lord will do this thing that he hath spoken,

Beholde, I will bring againe the shadowe of the degrees (whereby it is gone downe in the diall of Ahaz by the sunne) ten degrees backeward: so the sunne returned by tenne degrees, by the which degrees it was gone downe.
