Isaiah 36:18-20

The Voice

¹⁸ Be careful or Hezekiah will deceive you with his empty claim: ‘The Eternal One will surely save us.’ Look around. We’ve defeated everyone we’ve fought—every capital of every country. And did their gods save them? No. ¹⁹ Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad, Sepharvaim, or even your sibling to the north, Samaria? ²⁰ All of these are fallen—not a god in sight to save them. Do you really think you’re so different? Why should the Eternal save Jerusalem from me?”
