4Then 3RabshakehH7262 saidH559 to them, “SayH559 nowH4994 to HezekiahH2396, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, “WhatH4100 is thisH2088 confidenceH986 that you 4haveH982? 5I sayH559, ‘Your counselH6098 and strengthH1369 for the warH4421 are onlyH389 5emptyH8193 wordsH1697.’ NowH6258 on whomH4310 do you relyH982, that 6you have rebelledH4775 against me? 6BeholdH2009, you relyH982 on the 7staffH4938 of thisH2088 crushedH7533 reedH7070, even on EgyptH4714, on whichH834 if a manH376 leansH5564, it will goH935 into his 8handH3709 and pierceH5344 it. 9SoH3651 is PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 to allH3605 who relyH982 on him. 7But ifH3588 you sayH559 to me, ‘We trustH982 in the LordH3068 our GodH430,’ is it not He 10whoseH834 highH1116 placesH1116 and whose altarsH4196 HezekiahH2396 has takenH5493 awayH5493 and has saidH559 to JudahH3063 and to JerusalemH3389, ‘You shall worshipH7812 beforeH6440 thisH2088 altarH4196’? 8NowH6258 therefore, 11comeH4994 makeH6148 a bargainH6148 with my masterH113 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and I will giveH5414 you two thousandH505 horsesH5483, ifH518 you are ableH3201 on your part to setH5414 ridersH7392 on them. 9HowH349 then can you 12repulseH7725H6440 oneH259 13officialH6346 of the leastH6996 of my master’sH113 servantsH5650 and 1415relyH982 on EgyptH4714 for chariotsH7393 and for horsemenH6571? 10Have I nowH6258 comeH5927 up 16withoutH1107 the Lord’sH3068 approval againstH5921 thisH2088 landH776 to destroyH7843 it? 17The LordH3068 saidH559 to me, ‘GoH5927 up againstH413 thisH2088 landH776 and destroyH7843 it.’”’”
