before one altar, and on it shall you burn incense?
032:013 Don't you know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples
of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands
in any wise able to deliver their land out of my hand?
032:014 Who was there among all the gods of those nations which my fathers
utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand,
that your God should be able to deliver you out of my hand?
032:015 Now therefore don't let Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade
you after this manner, neither believe you him; for no god
of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people
out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers:
how much less shall your God deliver you out of my hand?
032:016 His servants spoke yet more against Yahweh God, and against
his servant Hezekiah.
032:017 He wrote also letters, to rail on Yahweh, the God of Israel,
and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations
of the lands, which have not delivered their people out of
my hand, so shall the God of Hezekiah not deliver his people

032:018 They cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language to the people
of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten them,

and the leaders and captains, in the camp of the king of Assyria.
So he returned with shame of face to his own land.
When he was come into the house of his god, those who came
forth from his own bowels killed him there with the sword.

the hand of all [others], and guided them on every side.
032:023 Many brought gifts to Yahweh to Jerusalem, and precious things
to Hezekiah king of Judah; so that he was exalted in the sight
of all nations from thenceforth.
032:024 In those days Hezekiah was sick even to death: and he prayed
to Yahweh; and he spoke to him, and gave him a sign.
032:025 But Hezekiah didn't render again according to the benefit done to him;
for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath on him,
and on Judah and Jerusalem.
032:026 Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart,
