NIV: The king also wrote letters ridiculing the LORD, the God of Israel, and saying this against him: 'Just as the gods of the peoples of the other lands did not rescue their people from my hand, so the god of Hezekiah will not rescue his people from my hand.'
NASB: He also wrote letters to insult the Lord God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying, 'As the gods of the nations of the lands have not saved their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not save His people from my hand.'
CSB: He also wrote letters to mock the Lord, the God of Israel, saying against him:Just like the national gods of the lands that did not rescue their people from my power, so Hezekiah's God will not rescue his people from my power.

KJV: He wrote also letters to rail on the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand.
NKJV: He also wrote letters to revile the Lord God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying, “As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver His people from my hand.”
