But the Rabshakeh said , "
Has my master sent me to your master and to you to speak these words ,
and not to the men who sit on the wall ,
who will eat and drink their own waste with you ?"
*
Then the Rabshakeh stood and called out with a loud voice in Hebrew ,
and said , "
Hear the words of the great king ,
the king of Assyria !
*
Thus says the king : "
Do not let Hezekiah deceive you ,
for he will not be able to deliver you ;
*
nor let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD ,
saying , "
The LORD will surely deliver us ;
this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria ."'
*
Do not listen to Hezekiah ;
for thus says the king of Assyria : "
Make peace with me by a present and come out to me ;
and every one of you eat from his own vine and every one from his own fig tree ,
and every one of you drink the waters of his own cistern ;
*
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 .
*
Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you ,
saying , "
The LORD will deliver us ."
Has any one of the gods of the nations delivered its land from the hand of the king of Assyria ?
*
Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad ?
Where are the gods of Sepharvaim ?
Indeed ,
have they delivered Samaria from my hand ?
*
Who among all the gods of these lands have delivered their countries from my hand ,
that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem from my hand ?"'
*
But they held their peace and answered him not a word ;
for the king '
s commandment was , "
Do not answer him ."
*
Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah ,
who was over the household ,
Shebna the scribe ,
and Joah the son of Asaph ,
the recorder ,
came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn ,
and told him the words of the Rabshakeh .
