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. 15 And Hezekiah prayed to the Lord, saying: 16 “O Lord of hosts, 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.(A) 17 Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear; open your eyes, O Lord, and see; hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to mock the living God.(B) 18 Truly, O Lord, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations and their lands(C) 19 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) 20 So now, O Lord our God, save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone are the Lord.”(E)

14 Hezekiah took the letter from the messengers’ hands, read it, then went up to the Lord’s temple and spread it out before the Lord.(A) 15 Then Hezekiah prayed(B) to the Lord:

16 Lord of Armies, God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim,(C) you are God(D)—you alone(E)—of all the kingdoms of the earth.(F) You made the heavens and the earth.(G) 17 Listen closely, Lord, and hear;(H) open your eyes, Lord, and see.(I) Hear all the words that Sennacherib has sent to mock the living God.(J) 18 Lord, it is true that the kings of Assyria have devastated all these countries and their lands. 19 They have thrown their gods into the fire, for they were not gods(K) but made from wood and stone(L) by human hands.(M) So they have destroyed them. 20 Now, Lord our God, save us from his power so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, Lord, are God[a](N)—you alone.(O)
