2 Kings 18:19-22
19Then RabshakehH7262 saidH559 to them, “SayH559 nowH4994 to HezekiahH2396, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, “1WhatH4100 is thisH2088 confidenceH986 that you 2haveH982?
20You sayH559 (but they are 3onlyH389 emptyH8193 wordsH1697), ‘I have counselH6098 and strengthH1369 for the warH4421.’ NowH6258 on whomH4310 do you relyH982, 4that you have rebelledH4775 against me?
21NowH6258 beholdH2009, you 56relyH982 on the staffH4938 of thisH2088 crushedH7533 reedH7070, even on EgyptH4714; on whichH834 if a manH376 leansH5564, it will goH935 into his 7handH3709 and pierceH5344 it. SoH3651 is PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 to allH3605 who relyH982 on him.
22But ifH3588 you sayH559 to me, ‘We trustH982 in the LordH3068 our GodH430,’ is it not He whoseH834 highH1116 placesH1116 and 8whose altarsH4196 HezekiahH2396 has takenH5493 awayH5493, and has saidH559 to JudahH3063 and to JerusalemH3389, ‘You shall worshipH7812 beforeH6440 thisH2088 altarH4196 in JerusalemH3389’?
