Isaiah 36:20
20
Who of all the gods of these countries have been able to save their lands from me? How then can the LORD deliver Jerusalem from my hand?”
Read Isaiah 36:20 Using Other Translations
Who are they among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
Who among all the gods of these lands have delivered their lands out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?'"
What god of any nation has ever been able to save its people from my power? So what makes you think that the LORD can rescue Jerusalem from me?”
What does Isaiah 36:20 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Isaiah 36:20
Who are they amongst all the gods of these lands, that
have
delivered their land out of my hand?
&c.] Not one of them, it is suggested; wherefore then should
it be thought practicable, that the Lord should deliver
Jerusalem out of my hand?
thus blasphemously setting the Lord God of Israel upon a level
with the fictitious gods of the Gentiles; though these could not,
the Lord could, being the Lord God Almighty. If Rabshakeh was an
apostate Jew, he must have known better; but the malice of such
is usually the greatest.
