2 Kings 18:20
You say you have a design, and strength for war, but these are only words. Now to whom are you looking for support, that you have gone against my authority?
2 Kings 18:21

2 Kings 18:27

2 Kings 18:32
Till I come and take you away to a land like yours, a land of grain and wine, a land of bread and vine-gardens, a land of oil-giving olives and of honey, so that life and not death may be your fate. Give no attention to Hezekiah when he says to you, The Lord will keep us safe.
