Isaiah 36:11-22
11Then saidH559 EliakimH471 and ShebnaH7644 and JoahH3098 unto Rabshakeh, SpeakH1696, I pray thee, unto thy servantsH5650 in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speakH1696 not to us in the Jews’ language, in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971 that are on the wallH2346. 12But Rabshakeh saidH559, Hath my masterH113 sentH7971 me to thy masterH113, and to thee, to speakH1696 these wordsH1697? hath he not sentH7971 me to the menH376 that sitH3427 upon the wallH2346, to eatH398 their own dung, and to drinkH8354 their own water with you?
13Then Rabshakeh stoodH5975, and cried with a loud voiceH6963 in the Jews’ language, and saidH559, HearH8085 ye the wordsH1697 of the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. 14ThusH3541 saith the kingH4428, Let not HezekiahH2396 deceiveH5377 you; for he will not be ableH3201 to deliverH5337 you: 15neither let HezekiahH2396 makeH5414 you trustH982 in Jehovah, sayingH559, Jehovah will surely deliverH5337 us; this cityH5892 shall not be givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. 16Hearken not to HezekiahH2396: for thusH3541 saith the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, MakeH6213 your peace with me, and comeH3318 out to me; and eatH398 ye every oneH376 of his vineH1612, and every oneH376 of his fig-tree, and drinkH8354 ye every oneH376 the watersH4325 of his own cisternH953; 17until I comeH935 and takeH3947 you awayH3947 to a landH776 like your own landH776, a landH776 of grainH1715 and newH8492 wineH8492, a landH776 of breadH3899 and vineyardsH3754. 18Beware lestH6435 HezekiahH2396 persuade you, sayingH559, Jehovah will deliverH5337 us. Hath any of the godsH430 of the nationsH1471 deliveredH5337 his landH776 out of the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804? 19WhereH346 are the godsH430 of HamathH2574 and ArpadH774? whereH346 are the godsH430 of SepharvaimH5617? and have they deliveredH5337 SamariaH8111 out of my handH3027? 20Who are they among all the godsH430 of these countries, that have deliveredH5337 their country out of my handH3027, that Jehovah should deliverH5337 JerusalemH3389 out of my handH3027?
21But they held their peace, and answered him not a wordH1697; for the king’sH4428 commandmentH4687 was, sayingH559, AnswerH6030 him not. 22Then cameH935 EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, that was over the householdH1004, and ShebnaH7644 the scribeH5608, and JoahH3098, the sonH1121 of AsaphH623, the recorderH2142, to HezekiahH2396 with their clothesH899 rent, and toldH5046 him the wordsH1697 of Rabshakeh.
