Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of Yahweh which you have spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.

A Model of Submission

Hezekiah's response is a powerful example of humility. Instead of arguing or becoming bitter about the harsh prophecy, he immediately accepts it as a just word from God. Commentators like Calvin and Barnes see this as a model for believers: to listen calmly and submissively to God's correction, trusting His character even when the message is difficult.
