"Time or age doesn’t necessarily make us any better. Consider that time does nothing but pass away. We sometimes say, 'time will tell,' 'time will heal,' or 'time will bring out the potential in me.' But time will do nothing of the sort! Time will only come and go. It is only how we use time that matters. Hezekiah didn’t make good use of the extra time the Lord gave him."
- From Isaiah 39 Commentary by David Guzik
Though the comment is only about time and its effect, I suggest you read through the entire commentary. It is defintely a good read:
For those not quite familiar with the story of Hezekiah, here are the links to the verses:
2 Kings 18-20
Isaiah 36-39
