2 Chronicles 20:5-13

5And Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court, 6and said, “O Lord, God of our fathers, are you not ^aGod in heaven? You ^brule over all the kingdoms of the nations. ^cIn your hand are power and might, so that none is able to withstand you. 7Did you not, our God, ^ddrive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel, and give it forever to the descendants of ^eAbraham your friend? 8And they have lived in it and have built for you in it a sanctuary for your name, saying, 9 ^f‘If disaster comes upon us, the sword, judgment, ▼

▼Or  the sword of judgment

or pestilence, or famine, ^hwe will stand before this house and before you— ⁱfor your name is in this house—and cry out to you in our affliction, and you will hear and save.’ 10And now behold, the men of ^jAmmon and Moab and ^kMount Seir, whom ^lyou would not let Israel invade when they came from the land of Egypt, ^mand whom they avoided and did not destroy— 11behold, they reward us ⁿby coming to drive us out of your possession, which you have given us to inherit. 12O our God, will you not ^oexecute judgment on them? For we are powerless against this great horde that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but ^pour eyes are on you.”

13Meanwhile all Judah stood before the Lord, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.

Psalms 50:15

15and ^qcall upon me in the day of trouble;
I will ^rdeliver you, and you shall ^sglorify me.”

Psalms 91:15

15When he ^tcalls to me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and ^uhonor him.

Isaiah 37:4

4 ^vIt may be that the Lord your God will hear the words of the Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to mock the living God, and will rebuke the words that the Lord your God has heard; therefore lift up your prayer for ^wthe remnant that is left.’”

Isaiah 37:15-21

15And Hezekiah prayed to the Lord: 16“O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, ^xenthroned above the cherubim, you are the God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; ^yyou have made heaven and earth. 17 ^zIncline your ear, O Lord, and hear; open your eyes, O Lord, and see; and hear ^aaall the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to mock the living God. 18Truly, O Lord, ^abthe kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations and their lands, 19and have cast their gods into the fire. For they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone. Therefore they were destroyed. 20So now, O Lord our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone are the Lord.”

Sennacherib’s Fall

21Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Because you have prayed to me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria,

Joel 2:17

17 ^acBetween the ^advestibule and the ^aealtar
^aflet the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep
and say, “Spare your people, O Lord,
and make not your heritage a reproach,
a byword among the nations. ▼

▼Or  reproach, that the nations should rule over them

^ahWhy should they say among the peoples,
‘Where is their God?’”

Amos 7:1-6

Warning Visions

1 ^aiThis is what the Lord God showed me: behold, ^ajhe was forming locusts when the latter growth was just beginning to sprout, and behold, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings. 2When they had finished eating the grass of the land, I said,

“O Lord God, please forgive!
^akHow can Jacob stand?
He is so small!”
3 ^alThe Lord relented concerning this:
“It shall not be,” said the Lord.
4 ^amThis is what the Lord God showed me: behold, the Lord God was calling ^anfor a judgment by fire, and it devoured the great deep and was eating up the land. 5Then I said,

“O Lord God, please cease!
^aoHow can Jacob stand?
He is so small!”
6 ^apThe Lord relented concerning this:
“This also shall not be,” said the Lord God.
