THE SICKNESS OF YECHIZQI YAH
In those days Yechizqi Yah is sick unto death: and the prophet Yesha Yah the son of Amos comes to him and says to him, Thus says Yah Veh, Misvah concerning your house for you die and live not.
2 And he turns his face to the wall and prays to Yah Veh, saying,
3 I beseech you, O Yah Veh, remember, I pray you, how I walked at your face in truth and with a heart at shalom and worked good in your eyes! - and Yechizqi Yah weeps a great weeping.
4 And so be it, ere Yesha Yah goes midst the city, the word of Yah Veh comes to him, saying,
5 Turn back and say to Yechizqi Yah, the eminent of my people, Thus says Yah Veh, Elohim of David your father, I hear your prayer; I see your tears; behold, I heal you: on the third day, ascend to the house of Yah Veh:
6 and I add fifteen years to your days; and I rescue you and this city from the palm of the sovereign of Ashshur: and I garrison this city for my own sake and for the sake of my servant David.
7 And Yesha Yah says, Take a cake of figs. - and they take and set it on the ulcer and he enlivens.
8 And Yechizqi Yah says to Yesha Yah, What is the sign that Yah Veh heals me and I ascend into the house of Yah Veh the third day?
9 And Yesha Yah says, This is your sign of Yah Veh that Yah Veh works the word he worded: that the shadow go forward ten degrees, or turns back ten degrees.
10 And Yechizqi Yah says, It is a trifle that the shadow spread ten degrees: no, but have the shadow turn back ten degrees.
11 And Yesha Yah the prophet calls to Yah Veh: and he turns back the shadow ten degrees by the degrees it descends in the degrees of Achaz.
