Isaias

12 Did the gods of the nations, which my fathers destroyed, deliver them? as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Telassar?

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

14 And Hezekiah took the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the Lord

15 And Hezekiah prayed unto the Lord saying,

16 O Lord of Hosts, God of Israel, that sittest upon the cherubim, thou art the God, thou alone, for all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made the heavens and the earth.

17 Incline thine ear, Lord, and hear; open thine eyes, O LORD, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he hath sent to reproach the living God.

18 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the lands, and their land,

19 And have given their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of ’s hands, wood and stone; and have destroyed them. ’

20 And now, LORD our God, save us from his hand: and all the kingdoms of the earth shall know that thou art the LORD, thou alone.

21 And Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, As to what thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:

22 This is the word which the LORD hath spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion hath despised thee, hath mocked thee; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head after thee.

23 Whom hast thou reproached and reviled? and against whom hast thou raised high thy voice? thou hast lifted up thine eyes on high against the Holy One of Israel.

24 By the hand of thy servants thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots I have ascended the height of the mountains, the recesses of Lebanon; and I will cut down the ’loftiness of his cedars, the choice of his fir-trees; and I will come into the height of his border, the forest of his garden-land.

25 I have digged, and drunk waters; and with the sole of my feet I will dry up all the canals of Mazor. ’
