Isaiah 36:18

Sennacherib Threatens Jerusalem

¹⁷ until I come and take you away to a land like your own land to a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.' ¹⁸ Be careful not to let Hezekiah mislead you when he says, "The LORD will save us." Has any god of any nation ever delivered his country from the king of Assyria? ¹⁹ Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sephar-vaim? Have they saved Samaria from me?
