see: and hear the words of Senncherib, which hath sent him to reproach
the living God.

and their lands,
18 And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods,
but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have

of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art

or even as this publican.

13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as
his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be
