15 Hezekiah prayed before the LORD and said, "O LORD , the God of Israel, who are enthroned above the cherubim, You are the God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
16 "Incline Your ear, O LORD , and hear; open Your eyes, O LORD , and see; and listen to the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to reproach the living God.
17 "Truly, O LORD , the kings of Assyria have devastated the nations and their lands
