Isaiah 38:1-22
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.Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD,And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done[ that which is] good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.And this[ shall be] a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken;Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years.I said, I shall not see the LORD,[ even] the LORD, in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd’s tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day[ even] to night wilt thou make an end of me.I reckoned till morning,[ that], as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day[ even] to night wilt thou make an end of me.Like a crane[ or] a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail[ with looking] upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me.What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done[ it]: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.O Lord, by these[ things men] live, and in all these[ things is] the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul[ delivered it] from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.For the grave cannot praise thee, death can[ not] celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I[ do] this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.The LORD[ was ready] to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay[ it] for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover.Hezekiah also had said, What[ is] the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?

2 Chronicles 32 24-2 Chronicles 32 26
In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and prayed unto the LORD: and he spake unto him, and he gave him a sign.But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit[ done] unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart,[ both] he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah.

Jeremiah 18:7-10
[ At what] instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy[ it];If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.And[ at what] instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant[ it];If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.

Jonah 3:4-10
And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered[ him] with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.And he caused[ it] to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that[ is] in their hands.Who can tell[ if] God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did[ it] not.

John 11:1-5
Now a certain[ man] was sick,[ named] Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.( It was[ that] Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.When Jesus heard[ that], he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
