14Hezekiah took the documents from the hand of the messengers and read them; then he went up to the house of the LORD and spread them out before the LORD.15Hezekiah prayed before the LORD and said: "O LORD, God of Israel, enthroned on the cherubim, you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth; you made the heavens and the earth."16Incline your ear, O LORD, and hear; open your eyes, O LORD, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib that he sent to taunt the living God.17Truly, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their land.18They have put their gods into the fire, for they were not God but the work of human hands—wood and stone—and they have destroyed them.19Now therefore, LORD our God, save us from his hand, we pray, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone are the LORD, God.
