¹⁷ It is true, Lord; the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands, ¹⁸ and have ^[a]hurled their gods into the fire; ^(A)for they were not gods, but only the work of human hands, wood and stone. So they have destroyed them. ¹⁹ But now, Lord our God, please, save us from his hand, ^(B)so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, ^(C)Lord, are God.”
