Here is the poem of Hezekiah, king of Judah, which he wrote when he was healed from his illness:
I love you, Yahweh, and I’m bonded to you, my strength!
I was dying in the prime of life. I thought, “Must I leave this world now? Must I go through the gates of death and miss out on the rest of my years?”
I will cause the sun’s shadow to retreat ten steps on the stairway of Ahaz.’ ” Then the sunlight went back up the ten steps it had gone down.
