2 Kings 18:19-25

19And RabshakehH7262 saidH559 to them, SpeakH559 ye now to HezekiahH2396, Thus saithH559 the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, What confidenceH986 is this in which thou trustestH982? 20Thou sayestH559, (but they are but vainH8193 wordsH1697,) I have counselH6098 and strengthH1369 for the warH4421. Now in whom dost thou trustH982, that thou rebellestH4775 against me?123 21Now, behold, thou trustestH982 upon the staffH4938 of this bruisedH7533 reedH7070, even upon EgyptH4714, on which if a manH376 leanethH5564, it will goH935 into his handH3709, and pierceH5344 it: so is PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 to all that trustH982 on him.4 22But if ye sayH559 to me, We trustH982 in the LORDH3068 our GodH430: is not that he, whose high placesH1116 and whose altarsH4196 HezekiahH2396 hath taken awayH5493, and hath saidH559 to JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, Ye shall worshipH7812 beforeH6440 this altarH4196 in JerusalemH3389? 23Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledgesH6148 to my lordH113 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and I will deliverH5414 thee two thousandH505 horsesH5483, if thou shalt be ableH3201 on thy part to setH5414 ridersH7392 upon them.5 24How then wilt thou turn awayH7725 the faceH6440 of oneH259 captainH6346 of the leastH6996 of my master’sH113 servantsH5650, and put thy trustH982 on EgyptH4714 for chariotsH7393 and for horsemenH6571? 25Have I now come upH5927 withoutH1107 the LORDH3068 against this placeH4725 to destroyH7843 it? The LORDH3068 saidH559 to me, Go upH5927 against this landH776, and destroyH7843 it.
