Isaiah 36:11-22

11Then EliakimH471, ShebnaH7644, and JoahH3098 saidH559 to RabshakehH7262, “PleaseH4994 speakH1696 to your servantsH5650 in 1AramaicH762, for we 2understandH8085 it; and do not speakH1696 to us in 34JudeanH3066 5so that the peopleH5971 whoH834 are on the wallH2346 hearH241 you.” 12But RabshakehH7262 saidH559, “Has my masterH113 sentH7971 me only to your masterH113 and to you to speakH1696 theseH428 wordsH1697, and not to the menH376 who sitH3427 on the wallH2346, doomed to eatH398 their own dungH2716 and drinkH8354 their own urineH7890 with you?”

13Then RabshakehH7262 stoodH5975 and 6calledH7121 outH7121 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963 in JudeanH3066 and saidH559, “HearH8085 the wordsH1697 of the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804! 14ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the kingH4428 saysH559: ‘Do not let HezekiahH2396 7deceiveH5378 you, for he will not beH3201 ableH3201 to saveH5337 you; 15and do not let HezekiahH2396 lead you to 8relyH982 on the LordH3068, sayingH559, “The LordH3068 will certainlyH5337 saveH5337 us. ThisH2088 cityH5892 will not be handedH5414H3027 overH5414 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804!” 16Do not listenH8085 to HezekiahH2396,’ for thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 saysH559: ‘9SurrenderH6213H1293 to me and comeH3318 outH3318 to me, and eatH398, eachH376 oneH376, of his 10vineH1612 and eachH376 of his figH8384 treeH8384, and eachH376 drinkH8354 of the 11watersH4325 of his own cisternH953, 17untilH5704 I comeH935 and takeH3947 you away to a landH776 like your own landH776, a landH776 of grainH1715 and newH8492 wineH8492, a landH776 of breadH3899 and vineyardsH3754. 18Beware that HezekiahH2396 does not misleadH5496 you, sayingH559, “12The LordH3068 will saveH5337 us.” Has anyH376 oneH376 of the godsH430 of the nationsH1471 savedH5337 his landH776 from the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804? 19WhereH346 are the godsH430 of 13HamathH2574 and ArpadH774? WhereH346 are the godsH430 of 14SepharvaimH5617? And whenH3588 have they 15savedH5337 SamariaH8111 from my handH3027? 20WhoH4310 among allH3605 the 16godsH430 of theseH428 landsH776 have savedH5337 their landH776 from my handH3027, that the 17LordH3068 would saveH5337 JerusalemH3389 from my handH3027?’”

21But they wereH2790 silentH2790 and did not 18answerH6030 him so much as a wordH1697; for the king’sH4428 commandH4687 was, “Do not answerH6030 him.” 22Then 19EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, whoH834 was overH5921 the householdH1004, and 20ShebnaH7644 the scribeH5613, and JoahH3098 the sonH1121 of AsaphH623, the secretaryH4206, cameH935 to HezekiahH2396 with their clothesH899 tornH7167, and reportedH5046 to him the wordsH1697 of RabshakehH7262.
