15 And Hezekiah prayed unto the Lord, saying,

16 O Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, that sittest upon the cherubim, thou alone art the God of every kingdom of the world; thou hast made heaven and earth.

17 Hearken, Ο Lord; look upon us, Lord, and see the Ezrdds of Sennacherib, which he hath sent to reproach the living God.

18 For in truth, the kings of the Assyrians have laid waste the whole world, and their country,

19 And cast their idols into the fire; for they were no gods, but the works of men's hands, wood and stone; and destroyed them.

20 But do thou, O Lord our God, save us outof their hand, gag. every kingdom of the earth may know that thou alone art God.

21 And Isaiah the son of Amoz was sent to Hezekiah, and said to him, Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, I have heard the prayers which thou madest to me concerning Sennacherib king of the Assyrians. ’

22 This is the word which Godhath spoken concerning him; The virgin daughter of Zion despiseth thee and mocketh thee; the daughter of Jerusalem shaketh her head at thee.

23 Whom hast thou reproached and provoked? or against ’ hast thou lift up thy voice? what, hast thou not lifted up thine eyes on high against the Holy One of Israel?

24 For by messengers thou hast reproached the Lord 3 for thou saidst, By the multitude of my chariots have I gone up to the height of the mountains, and to the utmost. parts of Lebanon, and have Cut down the height of his cedar, and the beauty of his cypress, and have entered into the height of the portion of his forest,

25 And have made a mound, and have dried up waters, and every gathering of water.

26 Hast thou not heard long since of these things that I have done? from ancient days have I ordained it, and now have I shown it forth, to make nations in strong places desolate, and them that dwell in strong cities.

27 I slackened their hands, and they were withered up, and became as green grass upon house-tops, and as wild couch-grass.

28 But now I know thy resting place, and thy going out, thy coming in.
