2 Kings 20:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

⁹ Isaiah said, “Which do you want? Should the shadow go forward ten steps or go back ten steps?^[a] This is the sign for you from the Lord to show that the Lord will do what he said he would do.”

¹⁰ Hezekiah answered, “It is an easy thing for the shadow to go down ten steps. No, make the shadow go back ten steps.”

¹¹ Then Isaiah prayed, and the Lord made the shadow move back ten steps. It went back up the steps that it had already been on.
