2 Kings 19:2-20

2And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz.

3And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble and of rebuke and of reviling; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.

4It may be Jehovah thy 1God will hear all the words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to reproach the living 2God; and will rebuke the words which Jehovah thy 3God has heard. Therefore lift up a prayer for the remnant that is left.

5And the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

6And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master: Thus saith Jehovah: Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.

7Behold, I will put a spirit into him, and he shall hear tidings, and shall return to his own land; and I will make him to fall by the sword in his own land.

8And Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.

9And he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he has come forth to make war with thee. And he sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying,

10Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah saying: Let not thy 4God, upon whom thou reliest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

11Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all countries, destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?

12Have the 5gods of the nations which my fathers have destroyed delivered them: Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden that were in Thelassar?

13Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?

14And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up into the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah.

15And Hezekiah prayed before Jehovah and said, Jehovah, 6God of Israel, who sittest [between] the cherubim, thou, the Same, thou alone art the 7God of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made the heavens and the earth.

16Incline thine ear, Jehovah, and hear; open, Jehovah, thine eyes, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent him to reproach the living 8God.

17Of a truth, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,

18and have cast their 9gods into the fire; for they were no 10gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; therefore have they destroyed them.

19And now, Jehovah our 11God, I beseech thee, save us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou, Jehovah, art 12God, thou only.

20And Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah the 13God of Israel: That which thou hast prayed to me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.
