Sennacherib’s Threat and Hezekiah’s Prayer

8 Then the Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he heard that he had departed afrom Lachish.  
9 And athe king heard concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, “Look, he has come out to make war with you.” So he again sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,  
10 “Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying: ‘Do not let your God ain whom you trust deceive you, saying, “Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”  
11 Look! You have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by utterly destroying them; and shall you be delivered?
12 aHave the gods of the nations delivered those whom my fathers have destroyed, Gozan and Haran and Rezeph, and the people of bEden who were in Telassar?  
13 aWhere is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?’ ”  
14 aAnd 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 before the Lord, and said: “O Lord God of Israel, the One awho dwells between the cherubim, bYou are God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.  
16 aIncline Your ear, O Lord, and hear; bopen Your eyes, O Lord, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, cwhich he has sent to reproach the living God.  
17 Truly, Lord, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,
18 and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were anot gods, but bthe work of men’s hands—wood and stone. Therefore they destroyed them.  
19 Now therefore, O Lord our God, I pray, save us from his hand, athat all the kingdoms of the earth may bknow that You are the Lord God, You alone.”  

The Word of the Lord Concerning Sennacherib

20 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: a‘Because you have prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, bI have heard.’  
21 This is the word which the Lord has spoken concerning him:
‘The virgin, athe daughter of Zion,
Has despised you, laughed you to scorn;
The daughter of Jerusalem
bHas shaken her head behind your back!
