2 Kings 18:27-35
27But Rabshakeh said to them, “Has my master sent me only to your master and to you to speak these words? Has he not also sent me to the men who sit on the wall, doomed to eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?”
28Then Rabshakeh stood up and shouted with a loud voice in Judean, 1saying, “Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria! 29This is what the king says: ‘2Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to save you from 3my hand. 30And do not let Hezekiah lead you to trust in the Lord by saying, “The Lord will certainly save us, and this city will not be handed over to the king of Assyria.” 31Do not listen to Hezekiah, for this is what the king of Assyria says: “Make 4your peace with me and come out to me, and eat, 5each one, from his vine and each from his fig tree, and drink, each one, the waters of his own cistern, 32until I come and take you 6to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees producing oil, and of honey, so that you will live and not die.” But do not listen to Hezekiah, because he misleads you by saying, “The Lord will save us.” 337Has any of the gods of the nations actually saved his land from the hand of the king of Assyria? 348Where are the gods of Hamath and 9Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and 1011Ivvah? Have they saved Samaria from my hand? 35Who among all the gods of the lands are there who have saved their land from my hand, 12that the Lord would save Jerusalem from my hand?’”
