2 Chronicles 32:9-20

[9] After  this did Sennacherib  king  of Assyria  send  his servants  to Jerusalem,  (but he himself laid siege against Lachish,  and all his power  king  of Judah,  that were at Jerusalem,  saying,  [10] Thus saith  Sennacherib  king  of Assyria,  Whereon do ye trust,  that ye abide  in the siege  in Jerusalem?  [11] persuade  you to give  over yourselves to die  by famine  and by thirst,  saying,  The LORD  our God  shall deliver  us out of the hand  of the king  of Assyria?  [12] taken away  his high places  and his altars,  and commanded  Judah  and Jerusalem,  saying,  Ye shall worship  before  one  altar,  and burn incense  [13] Know  ye not what I and my fathers  have done  unto all the people  of other lands?  were the gods  of the nations  of those lands  any ways  to deliver  their lands  out of mine hand?  [14] Who was there among all the gods  of those nations  that my fathers  utterly destroyed,  that could  deliver  his people  out of mine hand,  that your God  should be able  to deliver  you out of mine hand?  [15] 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,  of my fathers:  how much less shall your God  deliver  you out of mine hand?  [16] And his servants  spake  yet more against the LORD  God,  and against his servant  [17] He wrote  also letters  to rail  on the LORD  God  of Israel,  and to speak  As the gods  of the nations  of other lands  have not delivered  their people  out of mine hand,  so shall not the God  deliver  his people  out of mine hand.  [18] 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.  [19] 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.  [20] the king,  and the prophet  Isaiah  the son  of Amoz,  prayed  and cried  to heaven.
