2 Chronicles 32:18

Sennacherib Threatens Jerusalem

17He also wrote letters mocking the LORD, the God of Israel, and saying against Him: “Just as the gods of the nations did not deliver their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver His people from my hand.” 18Then the Assyrians called out loudly in Hebrew to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten and terrify them in order to capture the city.19They spoke against the God of Jerusalem as they had spoken against the gods of the peoples of the earth—the work of human hands.
