Isaiah 36:20-22

New Catholic Bible

²⁰ Which of all the gods of these countries has saved his country from my hand? Will the Lord then save Jerusalem from my power?’ ”

²¹ However, the people remained silent and did not respond with even a single word, for the king had ordered them not to reply to him. ²² Then Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who was the master of the palace, and Shebna the secretary, and the recorder Joah son of Asaph, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn and reported the words of the chief officer.
