Will you then be delivered? 12 Did the gods of the nations that my fathers destroyed rescue them—nations such as Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the sons of Eden who were in Telassar? 13 Where now is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? 14 Hezekiah received the letters from the messengers, read them, went up to the Lord's house, and spread them out before the Lord. 15 Then Hezekiah prayed before the Lord and said: 'Lord God of Israel, who is enthroned above the cherubim, You alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the heavens and the earth.' 16 Incline Your ear, Lord, and hear; open Your eyes, Lord, and see; listen to the words Sennacherib has sent to taunt the living God. 17 Truly, Lord, the kings of Assyria have devastated the nations and their lands. 18 They have cast their gods into the fire and destroyed them, for they were not gods but merely the work of human hands—wood and stone. 19 But now, Lord our God, save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, Lord, are God.
