9 Isaiah replied: “This is the sign from Jehovah to show you that Jehovah will carry out the word that he has spoken: Do you want the shadow on the stairway* to move forward ten steps or back ten steps?”+

8 Here I will make the declining shadow of the sun on the stairway* of Aʹhaz go back ten steps.” ’ ”+ So the sun went back ten steps on the stairway that it had already descended.
