You made the heavens and the earth. 17 Incline Your ear, LORD, and hear! Open Your eyes, LORD, and see! Listen to all the words of Sennacherib, who has sent them to mock the living God. 18 Truly, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations and their lands. 19 They have thrown their gods into the fire and destroyed them, for they were not gods but the work of human hands—wood and stone.
