Isaiah 36:1-7
1And 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 Rab-shakeh from LachishH3923 to JerusalemH3389, to kingH4428 HezekiahH2396, with a strong force. And he stoodH5975 by the aqueduct of the upperH5945 poolH1295, on the highwayH4546 of the fuller's fieldH7704.
3Then cameH3318 forthH3318 to him EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of Hilkijah, who was over the householdH1004, and ShebnaH7644 the scribeH5608, and JoahH3098 the sonH1121 of AsaphH623, the chronicler.
4And Rab-shakeh saidH559 to them, SayH559 now to HezekiahH2396, ThusH3541 saysH559 the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804: What confidence is this in which thou trustest?
5Thou sayest, but it is a wordH1697 of the lipsH8193, [There is] counselH6098 and strengthH1369 for warH4421. NowH6258 on whom dost thou relyH982, that thou hast revolted against me?
6Behold, thou reliest upon the staffH4938 of that broken reedH7070, upon EgyptH4714, on which if a manH376 leanH5564, it goesH935 into his handH3709, and pierces it: soH3651 is PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 to all that relyH982 upon him.
7And if thou sayH559 to me, We relyH982 upon Jehovah our 1GodH430: is it not he, whose highH1116 placesH1116 and whose altarsH4196 HezekiahH2396 has removedH5493, sayingH559 to JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, Ye shall worship before this altarH4196?
