2 Kings 18:19-22

19And Rabshakeh saidH559 unto them, SayH559 ye now to HezekiahH2396, ThusH3541 saith the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest? 20Thou sayest (but they are but vain wordsH1697), There is counselH6098 and strengthH1369 for the warH4421. NowH6258 on whom dost thou trustH982, that thou hast rebelledH4775 against me? 21NowH6258, behold, thou trustest upon the staffH4938 of this bruised reedH7070, even upon EgyptH4714; whereon if a manH376 leanH5564, it will goH935 into his handH3709, and pierce it: soH3651 is PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 unto all that trustH982 on him. 22But if ye sayH559 unto me, We trustH982 in Jehovah our GodH430; is not that he, whose highH1116 placesH1116 and whose altarsH4196 HezekiahH2396 hath taken awayH5493, and hath saidH559 to JudahH3063 and to JerusalemH3389, Ye shall worship before this altarH4196 in JerusalemH3389?
