¹⁷ It is true, Lord, that the Assyrian kings have laid waste the nations and their lands

¹⁸ And have cast the gods of those peoples into the fire, for they were not gods but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone. So they [could destroy and] have destroyed them.

¹⁹ Now therefore, O Lord our God, I beseech You, save us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know and understand that You, O Lord, are God alone.
