2 Kings 18:19-22
19And RabshakehH7262 saidH559 to them, “SayH559 nowH4994 to HezekiahH2396, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 saysH559: “1WhatH4100 is thisH2088 confidenceH986 that you 2haveH982?
20You sayH559--but they are onlyH389 3emptyH8193 wordsH1697-I have a planH6098 and strengthH1369 for the warH4421.’ NowH6258 on whomH4310 have you reliedH982, 4that you have revoltedH4775 against me?
21NowH6258 beholdH2009, you have 56reliedH982 on the 7supportH4938 of thisH2088 brokenH7533 reedH7070, on EgyptH4714; on whichH834 if a manH376 leansH5564, it will goH935 into his 8handH3709 and pierceH5344 it. ThatH3651 isH3651 howH3651 PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 is to allH3605 who relyH982 on him.
22However, ifH3588 you sayH559 to me, ‘We have trustedH982 in the LordH3068 our GodH430,’ is it not He whoseH834 highH1116 placesH1116 and 9whose altarsH4196 HezekiahH2396 has removedH5493, and has saidH559 to JudahH3063 and to JerusalemH3389, ‘You shall worshipH2331 beforeH6440 thisH2088 altarH4196 in JerusalemH3389’?
