Hezekiah’s Prayer
14 Hezekiah took(A) the letter(B) from the messengers’ hands, read it, then went up to the Lord’s temple, and spread it out before the Lord.(C) 15 Then Hezekiah prayed before the Lord:
Lord God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim,(D) you are God—you alone—of all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the heavens and the earth.(E) 16 Listen closely, Lord, and hear; open your eyes, Lord, and see.(F) Hear the words that Sennacherib has sent to mock the living God.(G) 17 Lord, it is true that the kings of Assyria have devastated the nations and their lands.(H) 18 They have thrown their gods into the fire, for they were not gods but made by human hands—wood and stone.(I) So they have destroyed them. 19 Now, Lord our God, please save us from his power so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, Lord, are God—you alone.(J)

Hezekiah’s Prayer
14 Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it; then Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord and spread it before the Lord.(A) 15 And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord and said, “O Lord the God of Israel, who are enthroned above the cherubim, you are God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth.(B) 16 Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear; open your eyes, O Lord, and see; hear the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to mock the living God.(C) 17 Truly, O Lord, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands 18 and have hurled their gods into the fire, though they were no gods but the work of human hands—wood and stone—and so they were destroyed.(D) 19 So now, O Lord our God, save us, I pray you, from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, O Lord, are God alone.”(E)
