2 Kings 19:8-22
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 1God, 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 2gods 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, 3God of Israel, who sittest [between] the cherubim, thou, the Same, thou alone art the 4God 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 5God.
17Of a truth, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,
18and have cast their 6gods into the fire; for they were no 7gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; therefore have they destroyed them.
19And now, Jehovah our 8God, I beseech thee, save us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou, Jehovah, art 9God, thou only.
20And Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah the 10God of Israel: That which thou hast prayed to me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.
21This is the word that Jehovah has spoken against him: The virgin-daughter of Zion despiseth thee, laugheth thee to scorn; The daughter of Jerusalem shaketh her head at thee.
22Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted the voice? Against the Holy one of Israel hast thou lifted up thine eyes on high.
