In those days Hezekiah fell sick unto death. And Isaiah son of Amos the prophet came to him and said to him: Thus says the Lord: Give orders to your household, for you are dying and shall not live.
O Lord, remember, I pray, how I walked before you in truth and with a full heart, and did what was good in your eyes. And Hezekiah wept with a great weeping.
Turn back and say to Hezekiah the leader of my people: Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you; on the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord.
And I will add fifteen years to your days, and I will save you and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians; and I will hold my shield over this city for my own sake and for the sake of David my servant.
And Isaiah said: This is the sign from the Lord that the Lord will do the word which he has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or shall it turn back ten steps?
And Hezekiah rejoiced over them, and he showed them the whole house of the nechotha—the silver and the gold, the spices and the fine oil, and the house of the vessels, and all that was found in his treasuries. There was nothing that Hezekiah did not show them in his house and in all his dominion.
And Isaiah the prophet came to king Hezekiah and said to him: What did these men say, and from where have they come to you? And Hezekiah said: They have come to me from a far country, from Babylon.
And he said: What did they see in your house? And he said: They saw all that is in my house; there was nothing in my house that I did not show them, and also the things in my treasuries.
Behold, days are coming when all that is in your house, and all that your fathers have stored up until this day, shall be carried off to Babylon; and nothing shall be left—this the Lord has said.
And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and all his might, and all that he did—the pool and the aqueduct, and how he brought the water into the city—are these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
