Isaiah 36:20

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

Who are they amongst all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand?.... Not one of them, it is suggested; wherefore then should it be thought practicable,that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

thus blasphemously setting the Lord God of Israel upon a level with the fictitious gods of the Gentiles; though these could not, the Lord could, being the Lord God Almighty.
