2 Kings 20:10

Hezekiah answered, “It is easy for the shadow to lengthen ten steps, but not for it ¹  to go back ten steps.”

"It is a simple matter for the shadow to go forward ten steps," said Hezekiah. "Rather, have it go back ten steps."

So Hezekiah answered, "It is easy for the shadow to decline ten steps; no, but let the shadow turn backward ten steps."

"The shadow always moves forward," Hezekiah replied. "Make it go backward instead."

Hezekiah said, "It would be easy to make the sun's shadow advance ten degrees. Make it go back ten degrees."

And Hezekiah said in answer, It is a simple thing for the shade to go forward; but let it go back ten degrees.

Hezekiah answered, "It is normal for the shadow to lengthen ten intervals; rather let the shadow retreat ten intervals."

And Hezekiah answered, "It is an easy thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees; no, but let the shadow go backward ten degrees."

Hezekiah answered, “It is easy for the shadow to lengthen ten steps, but not for it ¹  to go back ten steps.”
