15 ♥ 📝 Now therefore let not^H3808 Hezekiah^H2396 deceive^H5377 you, nor persuade^H5496 you after this manner, neither believe^H539 ye him; for no god^H433 of any nation^H1471 or kingdom^H4467 was able^H3201 to deliver^H5337 his people^H5971 out of my hand,^H3027 and out of the hand^H3027 of my fathers:^H1 how much less shall your God^H430 deliver^H5337 you out of my hand?^H3027

25 ♥ 📝 But Hezekiah^H3169 rendered not again^H7725 according to the benefit^H1576 done unto him; for his heart^H3820 was lifted up:^H1361 therefore there was wrath^H7110 upon him, and upon Judah^H3063 and Jerusalem.^H3389

26 ♥ 📝 Notwithstanding Hezekiah^H3169 humbled^H3665 himself for the pride^H1363 of his heart,^H3820 both he and the inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem,^H3389 so that the wrath^H7110 of Jehovah^H3068 came^H935 not upon them in the days^H3117 of Hezekiah.^H3169

29 ♥ 📝 Moreover he provided^H6213 him cities,^H5892 and possessions^H4735 of flocks^H6629 and herds^H1241 in abundance;^H7230 for God^H430 had given^H5414 him very^H3966 much^H7227 substance.^H7399

30 ♥ 📝 This same Hezekiah^H3169 also stopped^H5640 the upper^H5945 spring^H4161 of the waters of Gihon,^H1521 and brought them straight^H3474 down^H4295 on the west side^H4628 of the city^H5892 of David.^H1732 And Hezekiah^H3169 prospered^H6743 in all his works.^H4639
