2. Kongebok 19,18

Prayer

16 Bøy Ditt øre, Herre, og hør; åpne Dine øyne, Herre, og se; og hør ordene til Sankerib, som han har sendt for å håne den levende Gud.

17 Sannelig, Herre, kongene av Assyria har ødelagt nasjonene og deres land,

og har kastet deres guder i ilden, for de var ikke guder, men bare menneskehenders verk, tre og stein. Så de har ødelagt dem.

19 Men nå, Herre vår Gud, ber vi Deg om å frelse oss fra hans hånd, så alle jordens riker kan vite at Du alene, Herre, er Gud."

20 Da sendte Jesaja, Amos' sønn, bud til Hiskia og sa: "Dette sier Herren, Israels Gud: 'Fordi du har bedt til Meg angående Sankerib, kongen av Assyria, har Jeg hørt deg.'
