10 Thus shall ye say to Hezekiah the king of Judah, as followeth, Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given up into the hand of the king of Assyria.
11 Behold, thou thyself hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands by destroying them utterly: and thou alone shouldst be delivered?
12 Have the gods of the nations which my fathers destroyed delivered them, as Gozan, and Charan, and Rezeph, and the children of ‘Eden, who were in Thelassar?

14 And Hezekiah took the letter out of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the Lord, and spread it out before the Lord.
15 And Hezekiah prayed unto the Lord, saying,
16 O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, who dwellest between the cherubim, thou art the true God, thou alone, for all the kingdoms of the earth; for it is thou who hast made the heavens and earth.

18 Truly, Lord, the kings of Assyria have devastated all the nations, and their land;
19 And they have placed their gods into the fire; for they are no gods, but the work of man’s hands, wood and stone; and these have they destroyed.
20 And now, O Lord our God, save us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the Lord, thou alone.
