15And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord and said: “O Lord, the God of Israel, aenthroned above the cherubim, byou are the God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth. 16 cIncline your ear, O Lord, and hear; dopen your eyes, O Lord, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent eto mock the living God. 17Truly, O Lord, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands 18and have cast their gods into the fire, for they were not gods, fbut the work of men’s hands, wood and stone. Therefore they were destroyed. 19So now, O Lord our God, save us, please, from his hand, gthat all the kingdoms of the earth may know that hyou, O Lord, are God alone.”2 Chronicles 6:12-13
