⁹ And Isaiah said, “^(A)This shall be the sign to you from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do the thing that He has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten steps or turn back ten steps?” ¹⁰ So ^[a]Hezekiah ^[b]answered, “It is easy for the shadow to stretch forward ten steps; no, but let the shadow turn backward ten steps.” ¹¹ Isaiah the prophet cried to Yahweh, and ^(B)He turned the shadow on the ^[c]stairway back ten steps by which it had gone down on the ^[d]stairway of Ahaz.
