11 Be wise, my son, and make my heart rejoice,+ that I may make a reply to him that is taunting me.+

4 Perhaps Jehovah your God* will hear the words of Rabʹsha·keh,+ whom the king of As·syrʹi·a his lord* sent to taunt+ the living God,* and he will actually call him to account for the words that Jehovah your God has heard.+ And you must lift up prayer+ in behalf of the remnant that are to be found.’”+

17 Incline your ear, O Jehovah, and hear.+ Open your eyes,+ O Jehovah, and see, and hear all the words of Sen·nachʹer·ib+ that he has sent to taunt the living God.*+
