2 Chronicles

2 Chronicles 32:15–19

¹⁵So now, do not let Hezekiah deceive you, and do not let him mislead you like this. Do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to deliver his people from my hand or from the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you from my hand!”

¹⁶And the servants of Sennacherib spoke further against the LORD God and against His servant Hezekiah. ¹⁷He also wrote letters mocking the LORD, the God of Israel, and saying against Him: “Just as the gods of the nations did not deliver their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver His people from my hand.”

¹⁸Then the Assyrians called out loudly in Hebrew^e to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten and terrify them in order to capture the city. ¹⁹They spoke against the God of Jerusalem as they had spoken against the gods of the peoples of the earth — the work of human hands.
