2 Kings 19:16-18

New English Translation

¹⁶ Pay attention, Lord, and hear! Open your eyes, Lord, and observe! Listen to the message Sennacherib sent and how he taunts the living God!^{[a] 17} It is true, Lord, that the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands. ¹⁸ They have burned the gods of the nations,^[b] for they are not really gods, but only the product of human hands manufactured from wood and stone. That is why the Assyrians could destroy them.^[c]
