Give ear, LORD, and hear; open your eyes, LORD, and see; listen to the words 

Sennacherib has sent to ridicule the living God. 17 “It is true, LORD, that the Assyrian 

kings have laid waste these nations and their lands. 18 They have thrown their gods into 

the fire and destroyed them, for they were not gods but only wood and stone, fashioned 

by human hands. 19 Now, LORD our God, deliver us from his hand, so that all the 

kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone, LORD, are God.”
