2 Chronicles 32:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ King Sennacherib's men continued to insult the Lord God and his servant Hezekiah. ¹⁷ Sennacherib also wrote letters to insult the Lord, Israel's God, and to laugh at him. He wrote, ‘The gods of the other nations around you could not save their people from my power. So Hezekiah's God cannot rescue his people from me either.’

¹⁸ Then Sennacherib's men shouted loudly to the people who were standing on Jerusalem's walls. They spoke in the language of Judah's people.^[a] They wanted to make the people very afraid so that they could take the city for themselves.
