In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.
During that time, King Hezekiah became so sick that he was about to die. The prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz, came to him and said, 'This is what the LORD says: Put your affairs in order, because you are going to die and will not recover.'
God sent the prophet Isaiah to tell the dying King Hezekiah to prepare for death by getting his affairs in order.
