2 Kings 19:8-22

8Then Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria fighting against 1Libnah, for he had heard that 2the king had left 3Lachish. 9When he heard them say concerning Tirhakah king of 4Cush, “Behold, he has come out to fight against you,” he sent messengers again to Hezekiah saying, 10“Thus you shall say to Hezekiah king of 5Judah, ‘Do not 6let your God in whom you trust deceive you saying, “7Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.” 11Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands, destroying them completely. So will you be 8spared? 129Did the gods of 10those nations which my fathers destroyed deliver them, even 11Gozan and 12Haran and Rezeph and 13the sons of Eden who were in Telassar? 1314Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, and of Hena and Ivvah?’”

14Then 15Hezekiah took the 16letter from the hand of the messengers and read it, and he went up to the house of the Lord and 17spread it out before the Lord. 15Hezekiah prayed before the Lord and said, “O Lord, the God of Israel, 18who are 19enthroned above the cherubim, 20You are the God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth. 1621Incline Your ear, O Lord, and hear; 22open Your eyes, O Lord, and see; and listen to the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent 23to reproach the living God. 17Truly, O Lord, the kings of Assyria have devastated the nations and their lands 18and have cast their gods into the fire, 24for they were not gods but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone. So they have destroyed them. 19Now, O Lord our God, I pray, deliver us from his hand 25that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, O 26Lord, are God.”

20Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah saying, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Because you have prayed to Me about Sennacherib king of Assyria, 27I have heard you.’ 21This is the word that the Lord has spoken against him: ‘She has despised you and mocked you, 28The virgin daughter of Zion; She 29has shaken her head behind you, The daughter of Jerusalem!22Whom have you 30reproached and 31blasphemed? And against whom have you raised your voice, And 32haughtily lifted up your eyes? Against the 33Holy One of Israel!
