Isaiah 36:20Easy 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 |
A man of God [222] came to the king of Israel with this message: “The Lord said, ‘{The people of} Aram said that I, the Lord, am God of the mountains. They think that I am not also the God of the valleys. So I will allow you to defeat this big army. Then you will know that I am the Lord {in every place}!’”
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!”
