(and prayed before him, and said, Lord God of Israel, who sittest above the cherubim, thou alone art the God of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou madest heaven and earth.)

Bow [down] thine ear, (Lord,) and hear; open thine eyes, Lord, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, the which (he) hath sent to us, that he would despise the living God (yea, his insulting words toward the living God).

and they have sent the gods of them into (the) fire; for they were not gods, but [the] works of men's hands, of wood and of stone; and they destroyed them.
