Isaiah 38:3-8 New English Translation (NET)

3. “Please, Lord. Remember how I have served you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion, and how I have carried out your will.” Then Hezekiah wept bitterly.

4. The Lord told Isaiah,

5. “Go and tell Hezekiah: ‘This is what the Lord God of your ancestor David says: “I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Look, I will add fifteen years to your life,

6. and rescue you and this city from the king of Assyria. I will shield this city.”’”

21. Isaiah ordered, “Let them take a fig cake and apply it to the ulcerated sore and he will get well.”

22. Hezekiah said, “What is the confirming sign that I will go up to the Lord’s temple?”

7. Isaiah replied, “This is your sign from the Lord confirming that the Lord will do what he has said:

8. Look, I will make the shadow go back ten steps on the stairs of Ahaz.” And then the shadow went back ten steps.
