Isaiah 36:11-20
11 Then Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to Rabshakeh, “Speak now to your servants in aAramaic, for we understand it; and do not speak with us in bJudean in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.” 12 But Rabshakeh said, “Has my master sent me only to your master and to you to speak these words, and not to the men who sit on the wall, doomed to eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?”
13 Then Rabshakeh stood and acried with a loud voice in Judean and said, “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria. 14 Thus says the king, ‘Do not let Hezekiah adeceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you; 15 and do not let Hezekiah make you atrust in Yahweh, saying, “Yahweh will surely deliver us, this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.” 16 Do not listen to Hezekiah,’ for thus says the king of Assyria, ‘Make your peace with me and come out to me, and eat each of his avine and each of his fig tree, and drink each of the bwaters of his own cistern, 17 until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards. 18 Beware lest Hezekiah mislead you, saying, “aYahweh will deliver us.” Has any one of the gods of the nations delivered his land from the hand of the king of Assyria? 19 Where are the gods of aHamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of aSepharvaim? And when have they bdelivered Samaria from my hand? 20 Who among all the agods of these lands have delivered their land from my hand, that bYahweh would deliver Jerusalem from my hand?’”
