24 In those days Hezekiah was stricken with a terminal illness.[a] He prayed to the Lord, who answered him and gave him a sign confirming that he would be healed.[b] 25 But Hezekiah was ungrateful; he had a proud attitude, provoking God to be angry at him, as well as Judah and Jerusalem.[c] 26 But then Hezekiah and the residents of Jerusalem humbled themselves and abandoned their pride, and the Lord was not angry with them for the rest of Hezekiah’s reign.[d]
