7And this shall be the sign to you from the Lord, that the Lord will perform this word that He has spoken: 8Behold, I will make the shadow on the stairway, which has gone down with the sun on the stairway of Ahaz, go back ten steps.' So the sun’s shadow went back ten steps on the stairway on which it had gone down.

10I said, 'In the middle of my life I am to enter the gates of Sheol; I have been deprived of the rest of my years.' 11I said, 'I will not see the Lord, The Lord in the land of the living; I will no longer look on mankind among the inhabitants of the world.
