Isaiah 37:19
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 destroyed them. 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 destroyed them.
Isaiah 37:19 stands within the larger account of Hezekiah's response to the Assyrian threat. That setting makes the verse inseparable from a crisis in which the king and the nation faced overwhelming military pressure and open defiance of God. The example left by Hezekiah in this chapter is to pour out the soul before God in humility, fasting, and prayer. It also teaches constant spiritual readiness, so that sudden calamity finds the heart already humbled and seeking divine help rather than unprepared.
