Surely you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the countries, destroying them completely. And will you be delivered?

耶和華啊！亞述列王真的曾毀壞列國和它們的領土，把它們的神丟進火裡，但他們並不是神，不過是人手用木頭、石頭做成的，因此他們可以把他們除掉。

因為他說：“在我手下的眾領袖不都是王嗎？迦勒挪不是像迦基米施嗎？哈瑪不是像亞珥拔嗎？撒瑪利亞不是像大馬士革嗎？我的手伸展到這些充滿偶像的國，他們雕刻的像比耶路撒冷和撒瑪利亞的還多。我怎樣對待撒瑪利亞和其中的偶像，不也照樣對待耶路撒冷和其中的偶像嗎？”

我和我列祖向各地的民族所行的，你們不知道嗎？各地列國的神能拯救他們的國脫離我的手嗎？我列祖消滅的那些國的眾神，有哪一個能拯救自己的子民脫離我的手呢？難道你們的神能拯救你們脫離我的手嗎？

亞述王上來攻擊以色列全國各地，並且到撒瑪利亞來，圍城三年。何細亞在位第九年，亞述王佔領了撒瑪利亞，把以色列人擄到亞述去，安置他們在哈臘，在哈博河和歌散河一帶，以及在瑪代人的各城。這是因為以色列人得罪了那曾帶領他們從埃及王法老的手下離開埃及的耶和華他們的神，去敬畏別的神。他們隨從耶和華從以色列人面前驅逐的外族人的風俗，以及以色列諸王奉行的風俗。以色列人暗中做了不對的事，違背耶和華他們的神，並且在他們所有的城市，從哨站到設防城，為他們自己建築邱壇。又在各高山頂上和每一棵青翠的樹下豎立神柱和亞舍拉。他們在各邱壇上獻祭和焚香，好像耶和華從他們的面前擄去的外族人一樣，又行惡事，使耶和華發怒。
