以賽亞書 38：1-5
現代中文譯本（2019）
1 約在這時候，希西家王害病，幾乎死去。亞摩斯的兒子以賽亞去見王，對他說：「上主這樣說：『要處理好你的家務，因為你不會康復；你準備後事吧。』」
2 希西家轉臉向著牆壁，禱告說：
3 「上主啊，求你記得我始終忠誠，一心一意事奉你，做了你認為對的事。」他禁不住號咷痛哭起來。
4 於是，上主命令以賽亞
5 回到希西家那裡，告訴他：「我—上主、你祖先大衛的上帝這樣說：我已經聽到你的禱告，也看見你的眼淚；我要使你多活十五年。
ESV
1 In those days Hezekiah became sick and was at the point of death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, “Thus says the LORD: Set your house in order, for you shall die, you shall not recover.”
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD,
3 and said, “Please, O LORD, remember how I have walked before you in faithfulness and with a whole heart, and have done what is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
4 Then the word of the LORD came to Isaiah:
5 Go and say to Hezekiah, Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father: I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life.
