Hezekiah’s Prayer

14 Then (A)Hezekiah took the [a]letter from the hand of the messengers and read it, and he went up to the house of Yahweh and [b]spread it out before Yahweh. 15 And Hezekiah prayed before Yahweh and said, “O Yahweh, the God of Israel, (B)who is [c]enthroned above the cherubim, (C)You are the God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth. 16 (D)Incline Your ear, O Yahweh, and hear; (E)open Your eyes, O Yahweh, and see; and listen to the words of Sennacherib, who sent them (F)to [d]reproach the living God.
