And, when Hezekiah had received the letter at the hand of the messengers, and had read it, then went he up to the house of Yahweh, and Hezekiah spread it out, before Yahweh.

And Hezekiah prayed unto Yahweh saying:

O Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel - inhabiting the cherubim, Thou thyself, art GOD, even thou alone, for all the kingdoms of the earth: Thou, didst make the heavens and the earth.

Bow down, O Yahweh, thine ear - and hear, Open, O Yahweh, thine eyes - and see, - Yea hear thou all the words of Sennacherib,

who hath sent - to reproach a Living God. Of a truth, O Yahweh, - the kings of Assyria have devoted to destruction all the countries, and their land;

and have put their gods in the fire, - for, no-gods, were they, but the work of the hands of men wood and stone and so they destroyed them.

Now, therefore, O Yahweh our God, save us, out of his hand, - That all the kingdoms of the earth, may know, That, thou, art Yahweh, thou alone.
