10 “Thus *saith Sennacherib king_of Assyria, Whereon +do pe trust, that ye sabide in the siege in Jerusalem ?
11 Doth not Hezekiah persuade pou to give_over pourselbes to die by famine and by thirst, saying, ‘’ The Lorp our =God shall_deliver us out_of the_-hand_ of the_king_of Assyria ?’
12 Hath not the_same Hezekiah taken_ away His thigh_places and His and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, ‘Ye shall_worship before one altar, and burn_incense upon it ?’
13 Know ye not what = and my fathers ‘have_done unto all the_p=people_of other xlands? were the_gods_of the_ nations_of those lands any ways able to deliver their -lands out_of mine hand?
14 Who was there among all the_ gods_of xthose xnations that my fathers utterly_destroyed, that could delivei his -people out_of mine hand, that your =God should_be_able to deliver pow out_of mine hand?
15 Now therefore tlet not Hezekiah deceive pou, nor ‘persuade pon on this_ manner, neither yet ‘believe him: for no ehgod_of any nation or kingdom was_able to deliver his -people out-of mine hand, and out_of the_hand_of my fathers: how much _less shall your =God deliver you out_of mine hand ?”
16 And his servants spake yet more against Jthe Lorp x=God, and against His servant Hezekiah.
17 He wrote also letters to rail on 'the Lorp =God_of Israél, and to speak against Him, saying, “As the_gods_of the_nations_of other xlands have not delivered their -people out_of mine hand, so shall not the_=God_of Heze- kiah deliver His people out_of mine hand.”
18 Then they cried with a loud voice in_the_Jews’_speech unto the_-people_ of Jerusalem that weve on the wall, to affright them, and to trouble them; that_they_might take «the city.
19 And they spake against the_=God_ of Jerusalem, as against the_g gods_of the_=people_of the earth, which were the_work_of the_hands_of «xman.
20 And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet ‘Isaiah the_son_ of Amoz, prayed and cried to =heaven.
21 And Jthe Lorp sent an angel, which cut_off all the_mighty_men_of valour, and the leaders and captains in the_camp_of the_king_of Assyria. So he returned with shame_of face to his_ own land. And when he was_come into the_house_of his =god, they_that_
‘|}came_forth of his_own bowels slew him
there with the sword.
2 Thus Jthe Lorp saved Hezekiah and rthe_inhabitants_of Jerusalem from the_hand_of Sennacherib the_king_of Assyria, and from the_hand_of all other, and guided them on every-_side.
3 And many +brought gifts unto Jthe Lorp to Jerusalem, and ppresents to Hezekiah king_of Judah: so that he was_magnified in the_sight_of all xna- tions from thenceforth. >
