12:020:004 And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone
out into the middle
court,
that the word of the lord came to him, saying,
12:020:005 Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain
of my people, Thus
saith
the lord, the God of David thy father, I have
heard thy
prayer,
I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee:
on
the
third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the lord.
12:020:006 And I will add unto thy days fifteen years;
and I will deliver
thee
and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria;
and
I
will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my
servant
David’s
sake.
12:020:007 And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs.
And they took and laid
it
on the boil, and he recovered.
12:020:008 And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall
be the sign that the
lord
will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house
of
the
lord the third day?
12:020:009 And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have
of the lord, that
the
lord will do the thing that he hath spoken:
shall the
shadow
go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?
12:020:010 And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing
for the shadow to
go
down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return
backward
ten
degrees.
12:020:011 And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the lord:
and he brought the
shadow
ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in
the
dial
of Ahaz.
12:020:012 At that time Berodachbaladan, the son of
Baladan, king of
Babylon,
sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for
he had
heard
that Hezekiah had been sick.
12:020:013 And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed
them all the
house
of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and
the
spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house
of
his
armour, and all that was found in his treasures:
there was
nothing
in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah
shewed
them not.
12:020:014 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king
Hezekiah, and said unto
him,
What said these men? and from whence came they unto
thee?
And
Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, even
from
Babylon.
12:020:015 And he said, What have they seen in thine
house? And Hezekiah
answered,
All the things that are in mine house have they
seen:
there is nothing among my treasures that I have not
shewed
them.
12:020:016 And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the lord.
12:020:017 Behold, the days come, that all that is
in thine house, and
that
which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day,
shall
be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left,
saith
the
lord.
