Isaiah 37:14-20

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁴ Hizkiyahu took the letter from the messengers’ hands and read it. Then Hizkiyahu went up to the house of Adonai and spread it out before Adonai. ¹⁵ This is the prayer that Hizkiyahu prayed to Adonai: ¹⁶ “Adonai-Tzva’ot, God of Isra’el, who dwells above the k’ruvim! You alone are God of all the kingdoms on earth. You made heaven and earth. ¹⁷ Turn your ear, Adonai, and hear! Open your eyes, Adonai, and see! Hear all the words that Sancheriv sent to taunt the living God. ¹⁸ It is true that the kings of Ashur have laid waste all the countries and their lands ¹⁹ and have thrown their gods into the fire. For those were non-gods, merely the products of people’s hands, wood and stone; this is why they could destroy them. ²⁰ Now therefore, Adonai our God, save us from his power — so that all the kingdoms on earth will know that you are Adonai — you only.”
