4 Then the word of Yahweh came to Isaiah, saying, 5 “Go and say to Hezekiah, ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of your father David, “I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears; behold, I will add ^afifteen years to your ¹life. 6 And I will ^adeliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city.”’
7 “Now this shall be the ^asign to you from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do this word that He has spoken: 8 Behold, I will ^acause the shadow on the stairway, which has gone down with the sun on the stairway of Ahaz, to go back ten steps.” So the ^bsun’s shadow went back ten steps on the stairway on which it had gone down.
