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 aalone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
17 aIncline Your ear, O Lord, and hear; open Your eyes, O Lord, and see; and bhear 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 alands,
19 and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were anot gods, but the work of men’s hands—wood and stone. Therefore they destroyed them.
20 Now therefore, O Lord our God, asave us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may bknow that You are the Lord, You alone.”
The Word of the Lord Concerning Sennacherib
21 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel, ‘Because you have prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,
22 this is the word which the Lord has spoken concerning him:
“The virgin, the daughter of Zion,
Has despised you, laughed you to scorn;
The daughter of Jerusalem
Has shaken her head behind your back!
“The virgin, the daughter of Zion,
Has despised you, laughed you to scorn;
The daughter of Jerusalem
Has shaken her head behind your back!
