2 Kings 20:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ Hezekiah had said to Isaiah, “You say the Lord will heal me. You say that I’ll go up to his temple on the third day from now. What will the sign be to prove he’ll really do that?”

⁹ Isaiah answered, “The Lord will do what he has promised. Here is his sign to you. Do you want the shadow the sun makes to go forward ten steps? Or do you want it to go back ten steps?”

¹⁰ “It’s easy for the shadow to go forward ten steps,” said Hezekiah. “So have it go back ten steps.”
