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, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your Elohim deliver you out of mine hand?

16. And his servants spake yet against יְהוָ֥ה Elohim, and against his servant Hezekiah.

17. He wrote also letters to rail on יְהוָ֥ה Elohim of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of lands have not delivered their people out of mine hand, so shall not the Elohim of Hezekiah 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 on the wall, to affright them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city.

19. And they spake against the Elohim of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, the work of the hands of man.
