jas I have done to Samaria and her images?”
Isaiah 36:18-20
18Beware lest Hezekiah mislead you by saying, “The Lord will deliver us.” Has any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria? 19 kWhere are the gods of lHamath and mArpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? nHave they delivered Samaria out of my hand? 20 oWho among all the gods of these lands have delivered their lands out of my hand, that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?’”Isaiah 46:1-2
The Idols of Babylon and the One True God
1 pBel bows down; Nebo stoops;their idols are on beasts and livestock;
these things you carry are borne
as burdens on weary beasts.
2They stoop; they bow down together;
they cannot save the burden,
but qthemselves go into captivity.
