Isaiah 38:1-3

New International Reader's Version

Hezekiah Becomes Sick and Is Healed

38 In those days Hezekiah became very sick. He knew he was about to die. Isaiah went to see him. Isaiah was the son of Amoz. Isaiah told Hezekiah, “The Lord says, ‘Put everything in order. Make out your will. You are going to die soon. You will not get well again.’ ”

² Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall. He prayed to the Lord. He said, ³ “Lord, please remember how faithful I’ve been to you. I’ve lived the way you wanted me to. I’ve served you with all my heart. I’ve done what is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
