And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the couriers, and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to the house of Jehovah and spread it before Jehovah.

And Hezekiah prayed to Jehovah, saying,

O Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, who dwells between the cherubs, You are He, God, You alone to all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made the heavens and the earth.

Bow down Your ear, O Jehovah, and hear. Open Your eye, O Jehovah, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib which he has sent, to reproach the living God.

Truly, O Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the lands, and their land,

and have given their gods into the fire (for they were not gods, only the work of men's hands, wood and stone; so they have destroyed them).

And now, O Jehovah our God, save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You are Jehovah, You alone.
