"You know what my ancestors and I have done to all the people in other nations. The gods of those nations could not save their people from my power.

Hezekiah says to you, 'The Lord our God will save us from the king of Assyria,' but he is fooling you. If you stay in Jerusalem, you will die from hun- ger and thirst.

"You know what my ancestors and I have done to all the people in other nations. The gods of those nations could not save their people from my power.
14
My ancestors destroyed those nations; none of their gods could save them from me. So your god cannot save you from my power.
15
Do not let Hezekiah fool you or trick you, and do not be-lieve him. No god of any nation or kingdom has been able to save his people from me or my ancestors. Your god is even less able to save you from me."
