*
Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh ,
Speak ,
I pray thee ,
unto thy servants in the Syrian language ;
for we understand it :
and speak not to us in the Jews '
language ,
in the ears of the people that are on the wall .
*
But Rabshakeh said ,
Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words ?
hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall ,
that they may eat their own dung ,
and drink their own piss with you ?
*
Then Rabshakeh stood ,
and cried with a loud voice in the Jews '
language ,
and said ,
Hear ye the words of the great king ,
the king of Assyria .
*
Thus saith the king ,
Let not Hezekiah deceive you :
for he shall not be able to deliver you .
*
Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD ,
saying ,
The LORD will surely deliver us :
this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria .
*
Hearken not to Hezekiah :
for thus saith the king of Assyria ,
Make an agreement with me by a present ,
and come out to me :
and eat ye every one of his vine ,
and every one of his fig tree ,
and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern ;
*
Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land ,
a land of corn and wine ,
a land of bread and vineyards .
*
Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you ,
saying ,
The LORD will deliver us .
Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria ?
*
Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad ?
where are the gods of Sepharvaim ?
and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand ?
*
Who are they among all the gods of these lands ,
that have delivered their land out of my hand ,
that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand ?
*
But they held their peace ,
and answered him not a word :
for the king '
s commandment was ,
saying ,
Answer him not .
*
Then came Eliakim ,
the son of Hilkiah ,
that was over the household ,
and Shebna the scribe ,
and Joah ,
the son of Asaph ,
the recorder ,
to Hezekiah with their clothes rent ,
and told him the words of Rabshakeh .
