2 Kings 20:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ the Lord sent him back to Hezekiah with this message:

Hezekiah, you are the ruler of my people, and I am the Lord God, who was worshiped by your ancestor David. I heard you pray, and I saw you cry. I will heal you, so that three days from now you will be able to worship in my temple. ⁶ I will let you live 15 years more, while I protect you and your city from the king of Assyria. I will defend this city as an honor to me and to my servant David.

⁷ Then Isaiah said to the king's servants, “Bring some mashed figs and place them on the king's open sore. He will then get well.”
