A (15a) And Hezekiah prayed before YAHWEH, and said, O YAHWEH God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone,

B (15b) of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.

C (16) YAHWEH, bow down thine ear, and hear: open, YAHWEH, thine eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent him to reproach the living God.

D (17) Of a truth, YAHWEH, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands,

E (18a) And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone:

D’ (18b) therefore they have destroyed them.

C’ (19a) Now therefore, O YAHWEH our God, I beseech thee, save thou us out of his hand,

B’ (19b) that all the kingdoms of the earth may know

A’ (19c) that thou art YAHWEH God, even thou only.
