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.
7. And this shall be a sign unto thee from the Lord that the Lord will do this thing that he has 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, by which degrees it was gone down.
9. The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick and was recovered of his sickness:
10. I said in the cutting off of my days; I shall go to the gates of Sheol: I am deprived of the residue of my years.
11. I said, I shall not see JAH, even JAH, in the land of the living; I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.
12. My dwelling place has been moved and is removed from me as a shepherd’s tent; he has cut off my life like a weaver: he has cut me off with sickness: between the day and the night thou shalt consume me.
