Iste ezechias , reparatis his que pater disposuerat , comminuto serpente eneo, celebrato sollempni phase, cum contumeliam rapsace audisset, coram domino humiliatus, per ysaiam signa liberationis a sennacherib post tertium annum facta strage per angelum suscepit et credidit; qui, laudibus non solutis, egrotans, signo sanitatis in regressu solis ab ysaia ostenso credidit et, sanatus, canticum cecinit; qui, ostensis thesauris dei babyloniis , ab ysaia redargutus, in pace obiit.

This Hezekiah restored what his father had displaced, broke up the bronze serpent, and solemnly celebrated the Passover. When he heard Rabsace's insult, he was humble before the Lord. He received through Isaiah and believed the sign of liberation from Sennacherib after three years, through a massacre done by an angel. Because he did not offer praise, he became sick. He believed in the sign of health shown by Isaiah that the sun went backwards, and, healed, he sang a song. He was rebuked by Isaiah for showing God's treasures to the Babylonians, and died in peace.
