2 Kings 20:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ Then Isaiah said to the king's servants, “Bring some mashed figs and place them on the king's open sore. He will then get well.”

⁸ Hezekiah asked Isaiah, “Can you prove that the Lord will heal me, so that I can worship in his temple in three days?”

⁹ Isaiah replied, “The Lord will prove to you that he will keep his promise. Will the shadow made by the setting sun on the stairway go forward ten steps or back ten steps?”^[a]
