Isaiah 36:1-7

1Now it came to pass in the fourteenthH702H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 HezekiahH2396, that SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 came upH5927 against all the fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and tookH8610 them.

2And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 sentH7971 RabshakehH7262 from LachishH3923 to JerusalemH3389 against kingH4428 HezekiahH2396 with a greatH3515 armyH2426. And he stoodH5975 by the conduitH8585 of the upperH5945 poolH1295 in the highwayH4546 of the fuller’sH3526 fieldH7704.

3Then came forthH3318 to him EliakimH471, Hilkiah’sH2518 sonH1121, who was over the houseH1004, and ShebnaH7644 the scribeH5608, and JoahH3098, Asaph’sH623 sonH1121, the recorderH2142.1

4And RabshakehH7262 saidH559 to them, SayH559 ye now to HezekiahH2396, Thus saithH559 the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, What confidenceH986 is this in which thou trustestH982?

5I sayH559, sayest thou, (but they are but vainH8193 wordsH1697) I have counselH6098 and strengthH1369 for warH4421: now on whom dost thou trustH982, that thou rebellestH4775 against me?23

6Lo, thou trustestH982 in the staffH4938 of this brokenH7533 reedH7070, on EgyptH4714; on which if a manH376 leanH5564, it will enterH935 his handH3709, and pierceH5344 it: so is PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 to all that trustH982 in him.

7But if thou shalt sayH559 to me, We trustH982 in the LORDH3068 our GodH430: is it not he, whose high placesH1116 and whose altarsH4196 HezekiahH2396 hath taken awayH5493, and saidH559 to JudahH3063 and to JerusalemH3389, Ye shall worshipH7812 beforeH6440 this altarH4196?
