2 Kings 20:7-9
Good News Translation
7 Then Isaiah told the king's attendants to put on his boil a paste made of figs, and he would get well.[a] 8 King Hezekiah asked, “What is the sign to prove that the Lord will heal me and that three days later I will be able to go to the Temple?”
9 Isaiah replied, “The Lord will give you a sign to prove that he will keep his promise. Now, would you prefer to have the shadow on the stairway go forward ten steps or go back ten steps?”[b]
