Isaiah 37:15-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ Then he went up to the temple of the Lord and, spreading it out before him, he prayed to the Lord: ¹⁶ “O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, enthroned upon the cherubim, you alone are God of all the kingdoms of the world. You have created the heavens and the earth. ¹⁷ Incline your ear, O Lord, and listen; open your eyes, O Lord, and see. Hear all the words of Sennacherib whose purpose is to taunt the living God. ¹⁸ Truly, O Lord, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations and their lands. ¹⁹ They have cast their gods into the fire because they were not truly gods but the work of human hands, fashioned from wood and stone—and so they were destroyed. ²⁰ Therefore, O Lord, our God, save us from his hands so that all the kingdoms of the earth will know that you alone, O Lord, are God.”
