¹⁷ It is true, Lord. The kings of Assyria have destroyed these countries and their lands. ¹⁸ These kings have thrown the gods of these nations into the fire. But they were only wood and rock statues that men made. So the kings have destroyed them. ¹⁹ Now, Lord our God, save us from the king’s power. Then all the kingdoms of the earth will know that you, Lord, are the only God.”
