Isaiah 36:15-20

15Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in Yhwh, saying, Yhwh will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

16Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me: and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;1

17Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.

18Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, Yhwh will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

19Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?

20Who are they among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that Yhwh should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
