13 Where is the king of (A)Hamath, the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?’ ”

14 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord. 15 Then Hezekiah prayed to the Lord, saying: 16 “O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, the One who dwells between the cherubim, You are God, You (B)alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth. 17 (C)Incline Your ear, O Lord, and hear; open Your eyes, O Lord, and see; and (D)hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to reproach the living God. 18 Truly, Lord, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations and their (E)lands, 19 and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were (F)not gods, but the work of men’s hands—wood and stone. Therefore they destroyed them. 20 Now therefore, O Lord our God, (G)save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may (H)know that You are the Lord, You alone.”

Then he went up to the temple(F) of the Lord and spread it out before the Lord. 15 And Hezekiah prayed(G) to the Lord: 16 Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, enthroned(H) between the cherubim,(I) you alone are God(J) over all the kingdoms(K) of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.(L) 17 Give ear, Lord, and hear;(M) open your eyes, Lord, and see;(N) listen to all the words Sennacherib(O) has sent to ridicule(P) the living God.(Q)

18 “It is true, Lord, that the Assyrian kings have laid waste all these peoples and their lands.(R) 19 They have thrown their gods into the fire(S) and destroyed them,(T) for they were not gods(U) but only wood and stone, fashioned by human hands.(V) 20 Now, Lord our God, deliver(W) us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth(X) may know that you, Lord, are the only God.[a](Y)
