During that time, the officials of the king of Aram gave him advice. They said,“ The gods of Israel are gods of the hills. That’s why they were too strong for us. But suppose we fight them on the plains. Then we’ll certainly be stronger than they are.

And the servants of the king of Syria said to him,“ Their gods are gods of the hills, and so they were stronger than we. But let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.

After their defeat, Ben hadad’s officers said to him,“ The Israelite gods are gods of the hills; that is why they won. But we can beat them easily on the plains.

我对你的所作所为默然不语，你就以为我与你是同道。现在我要责备你，当面指出你的罪状。忘记上帝的人啊，你们要省察，免得我毁灭你们，那时谁也救不了你们。

难道你们不知道我和我的祖先怎样对付列国吗？列国的神明哪个能从我手中救自己的国家呢？我祖先所灭的列国中，有哪国的神明能从我手中救自己的国民呢？难道你们的上帝能从我手中救你们吗？所以，不要让希西迦欺骗、迷惑你们，也不要相信他！任何民族或国家的神明都不能从我和我祖先手中救他的人民，何况你们的上帝呢？’”亚述王的使者还用别的话毁谤耶和华上帝和祂的仆人希西迦。西拿基立还写信侮辱以色列的上帝耶和华说：“既然列邦的神明都不能从我手中救自己的人民，希西迦的上帝也不例外。”亚述王的使者用希伯来语大声向城墙上的耶路撒冷人喊话，威吓他们，使他们惧怕，以便攻取城。他把耶路撒冷的上帝与世间人手所造的神像相提并论。

我们大祸临头了！谁能从这些大能的神明手中救我们？在旷野用各种灾祸毁灭埃及人的就是这些神明。

我是耶和华，这就是我的名字。我不会把我的荣耀给假神，也不会把我当受的赞美给雕刻的偶像。

我先祖毁灭了歌散、哈兰、利色和提·拉撒的伊甸人，这些国家的神明救得了他们吗？

我举目观看群山，我的帮助从哪里来？我的帮助来自创造天地的耶和华。

他们虽然明知有上帝，却不把祂当作上帝，既不将荣耀归给祂，也不感谢祂。他们的思想因此变得荒谬无用，无知的心也变得昏暗不明。他们自以为聪明，其实愚不可及，以必朽的人、飞禽、走兽和爬虫的形象来取代永恒上帝的荣耀。
