Isaiah 36:15
Don’t let Hezekiah persuade you to trust in the Lord, saying,‘ The Lord will certainly deliver us! This city will not be handed over to the king of Assyria.’”
-
Jeremiah 10:3-5
for the customs of the peoples are worthless. Someone cuts down a tree from the forest; it is worked by the hands of a craftsman with a chisel.He decorates it with silver and gold. It is fastened with hammer and nails, so it won’t totter.Like scarecrows in a cucumber patch, their idols cannot speak. They must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them for they can do no harm— and they cannot do any good.
-
Isaiah 37:17-18
Listen closely, Lord, and hear; open Your eyes, Lord, and see. Hear all the words that Sennacherib has sent to mock the living God.Lord, it is true that the kings of Assyria have devastated all these countries and their lands.

But Yahweh is the true God; He is the living God and eternal King. The earth quakes at His wrath, and the nations cannot endure His rage.You are to say this to them,“ The gods that did not make the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth and from under these heavens.”He made the earth by His power, established the world by His wisdom, and spread out the heavens by His understanding.

2 Chronicles 32 13-2 Chronicles 32 17
“‘ Don’t you know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the lands? Have any of the national gods of the lands been able to deliver their land from my power?Who among all the gods of these nations that my predecessors completely destroyed was able to deliver his people from my power, that your God should be able to do the same for you?So now, don’t let Hezekiah deceive you, and don’t let him mislead you like this. Don’t believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to deliver his people from my power or the power of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you from my power!’”His servants said more against the Lord God and against His servant Hezekiah.He also wrote letters to mock Yahweh, the God of Israel, saying against Him: Just like the national gods of the lands that did not deliver their people from my power, so Hezekiah’s God will not deliver His people from my power.

Psalms 115:2-8
Why should the nations say,“ Where is their God?”Our God is in heaven and does whatever He pleases.Their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands.They have mouths but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see.They have ears but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell.They have hands but cannot feel, feet, but cannot walk. They cannot make a sound with their throats.Those who make them are just like them, as are all who trust in them.
-
Psalms 135:15-18
The idols of the nations are of silver and gold, made by human hands.They have mouths but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see.They have ears but cannot hear; indeed, there is no breath in their mouths.Those who make them are just like them, as are all who trust in them.
-
Habakkuk 2:19-20
Woe to him who says to wood: Wake up! or to mute stone: Come alive! Can it teach? Look! It may be plated with gold and silver, yet there is no breath in it at all.But the Lord is in His holy temple; let everyone on earth be silent in His presence.
-
2 Kings 18 33-2 Kings 18 35
Has any of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land from the power of the king of Assyria?Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? Have they delivered Samaria from my hand?Who among all the gods of the lands has delivered his land from my power? So will the Lord deliver Jerusalem?’”
