Hezekiah’s Prayer

14 Hezekiah received ^athe 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 And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord and said: “O Lord, the God of Israel, ^benthroned above the cherubim, ^cyou are the God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth. 16 ^dIncline your ear, O Lord, and hear; ^eopen your eyes, O Lord, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent ^fto mock the living God. 17 Truly, O 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 not gods, ^gbut the work of men’s hands, wood and stone. Therefore they were destroyed. 19 So now, O Lord our God, save us, please, from his hand, ^hthat all the kingdoms of the earth may know that ⁱyou, O Lord, are God alone.”
