You must never forget the agreement I made with you, and you must not worship other gods.

Instead you must worship the <sc>Lordsc> your God; then he will rescue you from the power of all your enemies.&#8221;

until I come and take you to a land just like your own &#8211; a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and honey. Then you will live and not die. Don&#8217;t listen to Hezekiah, for he is misleading you when he says, &#8220;The <sc>Lordsc> will rescue us.&#8221;

This is what the king says: &#8216;Don&#8217;t let Hezekiah mislead you, for he is not able to rescue you from my hand!<n id="1" />

Don&#8217;t let Hezekiah talk you into trusting in the <sc>Lordsc> when he says, &#8220;The <sc>Lordsc> will certainly rescue us; this city will not be handed over to the king of Assyria.&#8221;

and she said to them: &#8220;This is what the <sc>Lordsc> God of Israel says: &#8216;Say this to the man who sent you to me:

Then Elisha said to them, &#8220;This is not the right road or city. Follow me, and I will lead you to the man you&#8217;re looking for.&#8221; He led them to Samaria.<n id="1" />p>

Instead you must worship the <sc>Lordsc>, who brought you up from the land of Egypt by his great power and military ability;<n id="1" /> bow down to him and offer sacrifices to him.

Say this to the king of Judah, who sent you to seek an oracle from the <sc>Lordsc>: &#8220;This is what the <sc>Lordsc> God of Israel says concerning the words you have heard:

They replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;A man came up to meet us. He told us, &#8220;Go back to the king who sent you and tell him, &#8216;This is what the <sc>Lordsc> says: &#8220;You must think there is no God in Israel! That explains why you are sending for an oracle from Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron.<n id="2" /> Therefore you will not leave the bed you lie on, for you will certainly die.&#8221;&#8217;&#8221;
