14And when Ezechias had received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and had read it, he went up to the house of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord,

15And he prayed in his sight, saying: OH Lord God of Israel, who sits upon the cherubim, you alone art the God of all the kings of the earth: you madest heaven and earth:

16Incline your ear, and hear: open, OH Lord, your eyes, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who has sent to upbraid to us the living God.

17Of a truth, OH Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have destroyed nations, and the lands of them all.

18And they have cast their gods into the fire: for they were not Rods, but the works of men's hands of wood and stone, and they destroyed them.

19Now therefore, OH Lord our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know, that you art the Lord the only God.

20And Isaias the son of Amos sent to Ezechias, saying: Thus says the Lord the God of Israel: I have heard the prayer you have made to me concerning Sennacherib king of the Assyrians.

21This is the word, that the Lord has said of him: The virgin the daughter of Sion has despised you, and laughed you to scorn: the daughter of Jerusalem has wagged her head behind your back.

36And Sennacherib king of the Assyrians departing went away, and he re- turned and abode in Ninive.

10We have received your mercy, OH God, in the midst of your temple.

11According to your name, OH God, so also is your praise to the ends of the earth: your right hand is full of righteousness.

6Give not that which is holy to dogs; neither cast you your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turning upon you, they tear you.

12All things therefore whatever you would that men should do to you, do you also to them. For this is the law and the prophets.

13Enter you in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat.

14How narrow is the gate, and narrow is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it!
