In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Set your house in order, for you will die, and not live.’” See also: Isaiah 38:1-82 Chronicles 32:242 Kings 20:1-11Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD, See also: Matthew 6:6Psalms 50:151 Kings 8:30and said, “Remember now, LORD, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight.” Then Hezekiah wept bitterly. See also: Hebrews 5:7Hebrews 6:10Psalms 18:20-27Then the LORD’s word came to Isaiah, saying, “Go, and tell Hezekiah, ‘The LORD, the God of David your father, says, “I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life. See also: Psalms 34:5-61 John 5:14-15Revelation 7:17I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city. See also: Isaiah 37:35Isaiah 12:6Isaiah 31:4-5This shall be the sign to you from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he has spoken. See also: Judges 6:37-39Isaiah 37:302 Kings 20:8-21Behold, I will cause the shadow on the sundial, which has gone down on the sundial of Ahaz with the sun, to return backward ten steps.”’” So the sun returned ten steps on the sundial on which it had gone down. See also: 2 Kings 20:9-11Joshua 10:12-14Matthew 16:1The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and had recovered of his sickness: See also: Judges 5:1-31Psalms 30:11-12Job 5:18I said, “In the middle of my life I go into the gates of Sheol. I am deprived of the residue of my years.” See also: 2 Corinthians 1:9Psalms 102:24Psalms 107:18I said, “I won’t see the LORD, the LORD in the land of the living. I will see man no more with the inhabitants of the world. See also: Psalms 27:13Psalms 116:8-9Psalms 6:4-5My dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me like a shepherd’s tent. I have rolled up my life like a weaver. He will cut me off from the loom. From day even to night you will make an end of me. See also: Hebrews 1:12Psalms 73:142 Corinthians 5:1I waited patiently until morning. He breaks all my bones like a lion. From day even to night you will make an end of me. See also: Daniel 6:24Psalms 51:81 Kings 13:24-26I chattered like a swallow or a crane. I moaned like a dove. My eyes weaken looking upward. Lord, I am oppressed. Be my security.” See also: Isaiah 59:11Psalms 69:3Job 30:29What will I say? He has both spoken to me, and himself has done it. I will walk carefully all my years because of the anguish of my soul. See also: Job 7:111 Kings 21:27Job 10:1Lord, men live by these things; and my spirit finds life in all of them. You restore me, and cause me to live. See also: 1 Corinthians 11:32Hebrews 12:10-11Psalms 119:25Behold, for peace I had great anguish, but you have in love for my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; for you have cast all my sins behind your back. See also: Isaiah 43:25Jonah 2:6Micah 7:18-19For Sheol can’t praise you. Death can’t celebrate you. Those who go down into the pit can’t hope for your truth. See also: Ecclesiastes 9:10Psalms 30:9Psalms 6:5The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do today. The father shall make known your truth to the children. See also: Deuteronomy 6:7Psalms 119:175Psalms 78:3-6The LORD will save me. Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments all the days of our life in the LORD’s house.

Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).
