Isaiah 37:18-20
37:18 It is true, Lord, that the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the nations 1 and their lands.
37:19 They have burned the gods of the nations, 2 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. 3
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.” 4
