But if you tell me, ‘We trust in the LORD our God,’ isn’t that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem’?

ગુજરાતી2 રાજાઓ ૧૮:૨૨
પણ જો તમે એવું કહો કે, ‘અમે અમારા ઈશ્વર યહોવાહ પર ભરોસો રાખીએ છીએ,’ તે એ જ યહોવાહ નથી કે જેમના ઉચ્ચસ્થાનો અને વેદીઓ હિઝકિયા રાજાએ કાઢી નાખ્યાં છે અને યહૂદિયા અને યરુશાલેમને કહ્યું છે કે, ‘તમારે યરુશાલેમમાં આ વેદીની આગળ જ સેવા કરવી?’
हिन्दी2 राजाओं १८:२२
फिर यदि तुम मुझसे कहो, कि हमारा भरोसा अपने परमेश्वर यहोवा पर है, तो क्या यह वही नहीं है जिसके ऊँचे स्थानों और वेदियों को हिजकिय्याह ने दूर करके यहूदा और यरूशलेम से कहा, कि तुम इसी वेदी के सामने जो यरूशलेम में है दण्डवत् करना?’

In context

20You say (but they are but vain words), ‘There is counsel and strength for war.’ Now on whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?

21Now, behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt. If a man leans on it, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust on him.

22But if you tell me, ‘We trust in the LORD our God,’ isn’t that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem’?

23Now therefore, please give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses if you are able on your part to set riders on them.

24How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
