Isaiah 37:14-20

Hezekiah’s Prayer for Deliverance

14 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 And Hezekiah prayed to the Lord: 16 “O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, ^aenthroned above the cherubim, you are the God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; ^byou have made heaven and earth. 17 ^cIncline your ear, O Lord, and hear; open your eyes, O Lord, and see; and hear ^dall the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to mock the living God. 18 Truly, O Lord, ^ethe kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations and their lands, 19 and 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. 20 So 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.”
