A. 15 And Hezekiah prayed to the Lord : B. 16 O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, enthroned above the cherubim, C. you are the God, you alone, D. of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth. E. 17 Incline your ear, O Lord , and hear; open your eyes, O Lord , and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to mock the living God. F. 18 Truly, O Lord , the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations and their lands, E ' . 19 and have cast their gods into the fire. For they were no gods, but the work of mens hands, wood and stone.
