Isaiah 36:1-7

1NowH1961 it cameH1961 to passH1961 in the fourteenth yearH8141 of kingH4428 HezekiahH2396, that SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 cameH1961 upH5927 againstH5921 allH3605 the fenced citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and tookH8610 them.

2And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 sentH7971 RabshakehH7262 from LachishH3923 to JerusalemH3389 unto kingH4428 HezekiahH2396 with a greatH3515 armyH2426. And he stoodH5975 by the conduit of the upperH5945 poolH1295 in the highwayH4546 of the fuller’sH3526 fieldH7704.

3Then cameH3318 forthH3318 unto him EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, whichH834 was over the householdH1004, and ShebnaH7644 the scribeH5608, and JoahH3098 the sonH1121 of AsaphH623 the recorderH2142.

4And RabshakehH7262 saidH559 unto them, SayH559 ye nowH4994 to HezekiahH2396, ThusH3541 saith the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, whatH4100 confidenceH986 is this whereinH834 thou trustest?

5I sayH559, thy counselH6098 and strengthH1369 for the warH4421 are but vain wordsH1697: nowH6258 on whomH4310 dost thou trustH982, that thou hast rebelledH4775 againstH5921 meH5921?

6BeholdH2009, thou trustest uponH5921 the staffH4938 of this bruisedH7533 reedH7070, evenH3651 uponH5921 EgyptH4714; whereon ifH2009 a manH376 leanH5564, it will goH935 intoH935 his handH3709, and pierce it: soH3651 is PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 to allH3605 that trustH982 on him.

7But ifH3588 thou sayH559 unto meH413, WeH3588 trustH982 in the LORDH3068 our GodH430: is notH3808 that he, whoseH834 highH1116 placesH1116 and whoseH834 altarsH4196 HezekiahH2396 hath takenH5493 awayH5493, and hath saidH559 to JudahH3063 and to JerusalemH3389, Ye shall worshipH7812 beforeH6440 this altarH4196?
