Don’t let Hezekiah persuade you to rely on the Lord, saying, “The Lord will certainly rescue us! This city will not be handed over to the king of Assyria.” ’
‘Say this to King Hezekiah of Judah: “Don’t let your God, on whom you rely, deceive you by promising that Jerusalem won’t be handed over to the king of Assyria.
Suppose you say to me, “We rely on the Lord our God.” Isn’t he the one whose high places and altars Hezekiah has removed, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, “You are to worship at this altar”?
Beware that Hezekiah does not mislead you by saying, “The Lord will rescue us.” Has any one of the gods of the nations rescued his land from the power of the king of Assyria?
