列王紀下19:14-19

19:14 希西家從使者手裡接過書信來，看完了，就上耶和華的殿，將書信在耶和華面前展開。
19:15 希西家向耶和華禱告說：「坐在二基路伯上耶和華─以色列的上帝啊，你是天下萬國的上帝，你曾創造天地。
19:16 耶和華啊，求你側耳而聽！耶和華啊，求你睜眼而看！要聽西拿基立打發使者來辱罵永生上帝的話。
19:17 耶和華啊，亞述諸王果然使列國和列國之地變為荒涼，
19:18 將列國的神像都扔在火裡；因為它本不是神，乃是人手所造的，是木頭石頭的，所以滅絕它。
19:19 耶和華─我們的上帝啊，現在求你救我們脫離亞述王的手，使天下萬國都知道惟獨你─耶和華是上帝！」

 

¹⁴ Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers and read it. Then he went up to the temple of the Lord and spread it out before the Lord. ¹⁵ And Hezekiah prayed to the Lord: “Lord, the God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth. ¹⁶ 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.”

    我們有任何的委屈都可以來到上帝面前述說，正如西西家王面對亞述帝國的威脅，他永敢的到上帝面前來求！
