²⁵ But Hezekiah ^(A)did not make return according to the benefit done to him, for ^(B)his heart was proud. Therefore ^(C)wrath came upon him and Judah and Jerusalem. ²⁶ But Hezekiah ^(D)humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the Lord did not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah.

²⁷ And Hezekiah had very great riches and honor, and he made for himself treasuries for silver, for gold, for precious stones, for spices, for shields, and for all kinds of ^(E)costly vessels;

³¹ And so in the matter of the envoys of the princes of Babylon, ^(A)who had been sent to him to inquire about ^(B)the sign that had been done in the land, God left him to himself, ^(C)in order to test him and to know all that was in his heart.
