019:017 Of a truth, Yahweh, the kings of Assyria have laid waste
the nations and their lands,
019:018 and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods,

out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know
that you Yahweh are God alone.
019:020 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus
