Isaiah 36:1-7

1Now it came to pass in the fourteenth yearH8141 of kingH4428 HezekiahH2396, that SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 came up against all the fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and took them. 2And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 sentH7971 Rabshakeh from LachishH3923 to JerusalemH3389 unto kingH4428 HezekiahH2396 with a great army. And he stoodH5975 by the conduit of the upperH5945 poolH1295 in the highwayH4546 of the fuller’s fieldH7704. 3Then cameH3318 forthH3318 unto him EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, who was over the householdH1004, and ShebnaH7644 the scribeH5608, and JoahH3098, the sonH1121 of AsaphH623, the recorderH2142.

4And 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? 5I sayH559, thy counselH6098 and strengthH1369 for the warH4421 are but vain wordsH1697: nowH6258 on whom dost thou trustH982, that thou hast rebelledH4775 against me? 6Behold, 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 to all that trustH982 on him. 7But if thou 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?
