2 Kings 20:5-7
New English Translation
5 “Go back and tell Hezekiah, the leader of my people: ‘This is what the Lord God of your ancestor David has said: “I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Look, I will heal you. The day after tomorrow[a] you will go up to the Lord’s temple. 6 I will add fifteen years to your life and rescue you and this city from the king of Assyria. I will shield this city for the sake of my reputation and because of my promise to David my servant.”’”[b] 7 Isaiah ordered, “Get a fig cake.” So they did as he ordered[c] and placed it on the ulcerated sore, and he recovered.[d]
