Isaiah 37:9-11
Evangelical Heritage Version
9 When Sennacherib heard that Tirhakah king of Cush[a] had set out to fight against him, he sent messengers to Hezekiah 10 to say this to Hezekiah king of Judah:
Do not let the God you trust deceive you, saying that Jerusalem will not be handed over to the king of Assyria. 11 Listen, you yourself have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the other lands, destroying them completely. And you expect to be saved?
