Isaiah 37:19

Hezekiah's Prayer

¹⁸ Truly, O Lord, the kings of Assyria have devastated all the countries and their lands, ¹⁹ and have cast their gods into the fire, for they were not gods but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone. So they have destroyed them. ²⁰ Now, O Lord our God, deliver us from his hand that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, Lord, are God.”

So that it will not totter.

Their images are consigned to the beasts and the cattle.
The things that you carry are burdensome,
A load for the weary beast.

Surely the calf of Samaria will be broken to pieces.
