- 33
- “Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the king of Assyria: ‘He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor build a siege mound against it.
- 34
- By the way that he came, by the same shall he return; and he shall not come into this city,’ says the Lord.
- 35
- ‘For I will defend this city, to save it for My own sake and for My servant David’s sake.’”
- 36
- Then the angel of the Lord went out, and killed in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred and eighty-five thousand; and when people arose early in the morning, there were the corpses – all dead.

- In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said to him, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.’”

- Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the Lord,
- 3
- and said, “Remember now, O Lord, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what is good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
- 4
- And the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, saying,
- 5
- “Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will add to your days fifteen years.
