17 Pay attention, Lord, and hear! Open your eyes, Lord, and observe! Listen to this entire message Sennacherib sent and how he taunts the living God!
18 It is true, Lord, that the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the nations and their lands.
19 They have burned the gods of the nations, for they are not really gods, but only the product of human hands manufactured from wood and stone. That is why the Assyrians could destroy them.
20 Now, O Lord our God, rescue us from his power, so all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone are the Lord.”
21 Isaiah son of Amoz sent this message to Hezekiah: “This is what the Lord God of Israel says: ‘Because you prayed to me concerning King Sennacherib of Assyria,
22 this is what the Lord says about him:“The virgin daughter Zion despises you – she makes fun of you;daughter Jerusalem shakes her head after you.
23 Whom have you taunted and hurled insults at?At whom have you shoutedand looked so arrogantly?At the Holy One of Israel!
