2. Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord:
3. "Please, Lord, remember how I’ve walked before you in truth and sincerity. I’ve done what you consider to be good." Then Hezekiah cried and cried.
4. Then the Lord’s word came to Isaiah:
5. "Go and say to Hezekiah: The Lord, the God of your ancestor David, says this: I have heard your prayer and have seen your tears. I will add fifteen years to your life.
