Yesaya 37:19

37:19 They have burned the gods of the nations, ¹  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. ² 

Yesaya 37:1

37:1 When King Hezekiah heard this, ³  he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and went to the Lord’s temple.

1 Korintus 8:4

8:4 With regard then to eating food sacrificed to idols, we know that “an idol in this world is nothing,” and that “there is no God but one.” ⁴ 

¹ tn Heb “and they put their gods in the fire.”

² tn Heb “so they destroyed them” (NASB similar).

³ tn The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

⁴ sn “An idol in this world is nothing” and “There is no God but one.” Here and in v. 1 Paul cites certain slogans the Corinthians apparently used to justify their behavior (cf. 6:12-13; 7:1; 10:23). Paul agrees with the slogans in part, but corrects them to show how the Corinthians have misused these ideas.
