2 Kings 18:27-35

27But RabshakehH7262 saidH559 to them, “Has my masterH113 sentH7971 me only to your masterH113 and to you to speakH1696 theseH428 wordsH1697? Has he not also sent me to the menH376 who sitH3427 on the wallH2346, doomed to eatH398 their own dungH2716 and drinkH8354 their own urineH7890 with you?”

28Then RabshakehH7262 stoodH5975 up and shoutedH7121 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963 in JudeanH3066, 1sayingH1696H559, “HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804! 29ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the kingH4428 saysH559: ‘2Do not let HezekiahH2396 deceiveH5378 you, for he will not beH3201 ableH3201 to saveH5337 you from 3my handH3027. 30And do not let HezekiahH2396 lead you to trustH982 in the LordH3068 by sayingH559, “The LordH3068 will certainlyH5337 saveH5337 us, and thisH2088 cityH5892 will not be handedH5414H3027 overH5414 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.” 31Do not listenH8085 to HezekiahH2396, for thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 saysH559: “MakeH6213 4your peaceH1293 with me and comeH3318 outH3318 to me, and eatH398, 5eachH376 one, from his vineH1612 and eachH376 from his figH8384 treeH8384, and drinkH8354, eachH376 one, the watersH4325 of his own cisternH953, 32untilH5704 I comeH935 and takeH3947 you 6to a landH776 like your own landH776, a landH776 of grainH1715 and newH8492 wineH8492, a landH776 of breadH3899 and vineyardsH3754, a landH776 of oliveH2132 treesH2132 producing oilH3323, and of honeyH1706, so that you will liveH2421 and not dieH4191.” But do not listenH8085 to HezekiahH2396, becauseH3588 he misleadsH5496 you by sayingH559, “The LordH3068 will saveH5337 us.” 337Has anyH376 of the godsH430 of the nationsH1471 actuallyH5337 savedH5337 his landH776 from the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804? 348WhereH346 are the godsH430 of HamathH2574 and 9ArpadH774? WhereH346 are the godsH430 of SepharvaimH5617, HenaH2012, and 1011IvvahH5755? Have they savedH5337 SamariaH8111 from my handH3027? 35WhoH4310 among allH3605 the godsH430 of the landsH776 are there whoH834 have savedH5337 their landH776 from my handH3027, 12that the LordH3068 would saveH5337 JerusalemH3389 from my handH3027?’”
