Isaiah 38:1-8 At that time Ezekias was seized with a mortal sickness; and Esaias son of Amos, the prophet, came to him and said to him, Thus saith the Lord, Give orders respecting thy household, for thou art at the point of death and shall not live.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ At that time Ezekias was seized with a mortal sickness; and Esaias son of Amos, the prophet, came to him and said to him, Thus saith the Lord, Give orders respecting thy household, for thou art at the point of death and shall not live. ² Thereupon Ezekias turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, ³ saying, "O Lord, remember how I have walked before thee with truth and with an upright heart, and have done the things which are pleasing in thy sight." And Ezekias wept bitterly. ⁴ And a word of the Lord came to Esaias saying, ⁵ Go and say to Ezekias, Thus saith the Lord, the God of thy father David, I have heard thy prayer and seen thy tears, Behold I will add to thy term fifteen years. ⁶ And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians and cover this city with my shield. ⁷ And this shall be a sign to thee from the Lord, that God will perform this decree. ⁸ Behold I will bring back the shadow of the steps the ten steps of the house of thy father, which the sun hath gone down. I will bring back the sun those ten steps. So the sun reascended the ten steps which the shadow had gone down.
