11
Is not Hezekiah misleading you, that he may give you over to die by famine and by thirst, when he tells you, âThe Lord our God will deliver us from the hand of the king of Assyriaâ?
12

13
Do you not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of other lands? Were the gods of the nations of those lands at all able to deliver their lands out of my hand?
14
Who among all the gods of those nations that my fathers devoted to destruction was able to deliver his people from my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you from my hand?
