2 Kings 18:35Easy To Read VersionDid any of the gods in the other countries save their land from me? No! Can the Lord save Jerusalem from me? No!” See the chapter |
An axe is not better than the person that cuts with it. A saw is not better than the person that saws with it. \{But Assyria thinks he is more important and powerful than God.\} And this is like a stick being more powerful and important than the person that picks it up and uses it to punish someone.
Now, when you hear the sound of the horns, flutes, lyres, {\cf2\super [32]} sambucas, {\cf2\super [33]} harps, bagpipes, {\cf2\super [34]} and all the other musical instruments, you must bow down and worship the gold idol. If you are ready to worship the idol I have made, that will be good. But if you don’t worship it, you will be thrown very quickly into the hot furnace. Then no god will be able to save you from my power!”
