Where are the gods of ^(C)Sepharvaim? And when have they ^(D)delivered Samaria from my hand? ²⁰ Who among all the ^(E)gods of these lands ^[a]have delivered their land from my hand, that ^(F)Yahweh would deliver Jerusalem from my hand?’”

But if you do not worship, you will ^[b]immediately be ^(B)cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire; and ^(C)what god is there who can save you out of my hands?”
