“Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.”
Hezekiah responds to Isaiah's prophecy with acceptance, saying that the word of the LORD is good and the peace he has is assured, expressing gratitude that judgment will not fall during his lifetime. The oracle shows the king's peaceful acceptance of the future judgment. The acknowledgment of peace for his lifetime suggests the king's contentment with his own escape from the worst consequences.
