*
Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you ,
nor persuade you on this manner ,
neither yet believe him :
for no god 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 ?
*
And his servants spake yet more against the LORD God ,
and against his servant Hezekiah .
*
He wrote also letters to rail on the LORD God of Israel Yisra #
el #,
and to speak against him ,
saying ,
As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of mine hand ,
so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand .
*
Then they cried with a loud voice in the Jews speech unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall ,
to affright them ,
and to trouble them ;
that they might take the city .
*
And they spake against the God of Jerusalem ,
as against the gods of the people of the earth ,
which were the work of the hands of man .
*
And for this cause Hezekiah the king ,
and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz ,
prayed and cried to heaven .
*
And the LORD sent an angel mal #
ak #,
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 .
*
Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the 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 .
