Hezekiah’s Pride, Success and Death^(A)

²⁴ In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. He prayed to the Lord, who answered him and gave him a miraculous sign.^{(B) 25} But Hezekiah’s heart was proud^(C) and he did not respond to the kindness shown him; therefore the Lord’s wrath^(D) was on him and on Judah and Jerusalem. ²⁶ Then Hezekiah repented^(E) of the pride of his heart, as did the people of Jerusalem; therefore the Lord’s wrath did not come on them during the days of Hezekiah.^(F)
