CSB: Then Hezekiah answered, "It’s easy for the shadow to lengthen ten steps. No, let the shadow go back ten steps."
NLT: The shadow always moves forward,' Hezekiah replied, 'so that would be easy. Make it go ten steps backward instead.'
KJV: And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.
