Yesaya 37:17-20

37:17 Pay attention, Lord, and hear! Open your eyes, Lord, and observe! Listen to this entire message Sennacherib sent and how he taunts the living God! ¹  37:18 It is true, Lord, that the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the nations ²  and their lands. 37:19 They have burned the gods of the nations, ³  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. ⁴  37:20 Now, O Lord our God, rescue us from his power, so all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone are the Lord.” ⁵
