Isaiah 36:19-21

New International Reader's Version

¹⁹ Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? Have they saved Samaria from my power? ²⁰ Which one of all the gods of those countries has been able to save their lands from me? So how can the Lord save Jerusalem from my power?’ ”

²¹ But the people remained silent. They didn’t say anything. That’s because King Hezekiah had commanded, “Don’t answer him.”
