2 Chronicles 32:16-19

2 Chronicles 32:16-19 NCV

Sennacherib’s officers said worse things against the LORD God and his servant Hezekiah. King Sennacherib also wrote letters insulting the LORD, the God of Israel. They spoke against him, saying, “The gods of the other nations could not save their people from me. In the same way Hezekiah’s god won’t be able to save his people from me.” Then the king’s officers shouted in Hebrew, calling out to the people of Jerusalem who were on the city wall. The officers wanted to scare the people away so they could capture Jerusalem. They spoke about the God of Jerusalem as though he were like the gods the people of the world worshiped, which are made by human hands.
