Isaiah 36:1 (NRSV) New Revised Standard Version

1 In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, King Sennacherib of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and captured them.
2 The king of Assyria sent the Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem, with a great army. He stood by the conduit of the upper pool on the highway to the Fuller's Field.
3 And there came out to him Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who was in charge of the palace, and Shebna the secretary, and Joah son of Asaph, the recorder.
4 The Rabshakeh said to them, "Say to Hezekiah: Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: On what do you base this confidence of yours?
5 Do you think that mere words are strategy and power for war? On whom do you now rely, that you have rebelled against me?
6 See, you are relying on Egypt, that broken reed of a staff, which will pierce the hand of anyone who leans on it. Such is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who rely on him.
7 But if you say to me, 'We rely on the LORD our God,' is it not he whose high places and altars Hezekiah has removed, saying to Judah and to Jerusalem, 'You shall worship before this altar'?
8 Come now, make a wager with my master the king of Assyria: I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders on them.
9 How then can you repulse a single captain among the least of my master's servants, when you rely on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
10 Moreover, is it without the LORD that I have come up against this land to destroy it? The LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it."
11 Then Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah said to the Rabshakeh, "Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it; do not speak to us in the language of Judah within the hearing of the people who are on the wall."
12 But the Rabshakeh said, "Has my master sent me to speak these words to your master and to you, and not to the people sitting on the wall, who are doomed with you to eat their own dung and drink their own urine?"
13 Then the Rabshakeh stood and called out in a loud voice in the language of Judah, "Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!
14 Thus says the king: 'Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you.
15 Do not let Hezekiah make you rely on the LORD by saying, The LORD 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; then everyone of you will eat from your own vine and your own fig tree and drink water from your own cistern,
17 until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
18 Do not let Hezekiah mislead you by saying, The LORD will save us. Has any of the gods of the nations saved their land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
20 Who among all the gods of these countries have saved their countries out of my hand, that the LORD should save Jerusalem out of my hand?'"
21 But they were silent and answered him not a word, for the king's command was, "Do not answer him."
22 Then Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who was in charge of the palace, and Shebna the secretary, and Joah son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of the Rabshakeh.
1 Now it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS in the fourteenth H702 B-BFS year H8141 NFS of king H4428 NMS Hezekiah H2396 , that Sennacherib H5576 king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 GFS came up H5927 against H5921 PREP all H3605 NMS the defensed H1219 cities H5892 of Judah H3063 , and took H8610 them .

6 Lo H2009 IJEC , thou trustest H982 in H5921 PREP the staff H4938 of this H2088 D-PMS broken H7533 reed H7070 , on H5921 PREP Egypt H4714 EFS ; whereon H834 RPRO if a man H376 NMS lean H5564 , it will go H935 into his hand H3709 , and pierce H5344 it : so H3651 ADV is Pharaoh H6547 EMS king H4428 NMS of Egypt H4714 EFS to all H3605 that trust H982 in H5921 PREP him .
7 But H3588 W-CONJ if thou say H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP me , We trust H982 in H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS our God H430 : is it not H3808 D-NPAR he H1931 PPRO-3MS , whose H834 RPRO high places H1116 and whose altars H4196 Hezekiah H2396 hath taken away H5493 VHQ3MS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS to Judah H3063 and to Jerusalem H3389 , Ye shall worship H7812 before H6440 L-CMP this H2088 D-PMS altar H4196 D-NMS ?
8 Now H6258 W-ADV therefore give pledges H6149 , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , to H854 PREP my master H113 the king H4428 D-NMS of Assyria H804 GFS , and I will give H5414 thee two thousand H505 horses H5483 , if H518 PART thou be able H3201 VQI2MS on thy part to set H5414 riders H7392 upon H5921 PREP-3MP them .
9 How H349 W-IJEC then wilt thou turn away H7725 the face H6440 CMP of one H259 captain H6346 of the least H6996 of my master H113 \'s servants H5650 , and put thy trust H982 on H5921 PREP Egypt H4714 EFS for chariots H7393 and for horsemen H6571 ?
10 And am I now H6258 W-ADV come up H5927 without H1107 the LORD H3068 EDS against H5921 PREP this H2063 D-DFS land H776 D-GFS to destroy H7843 it ? the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 VQQ3MS unto H413 PREP me , Go up H5927 against H413 PREP this H2063 D-DFS land H776 D-GFS , and destroy H7843 it .
11 Then said H559 W-VQY3MS Eliakim H471 and Shebna H7644 and Joah H3098 unto H413 PREP Rab H7262 - shakeh , Speak H1696 , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , unto H413 PREP thy servants H5650 in the Syrian language H762 ; for H3588 CONJ we H587 understand H8085 it : and speak H1696 not H408 W-NPAR to H413 PREP us in the Jews\' language H3066 , in the ears H241 of the people H5971 that H834 RPRO are on H5921 PREP the wall H2346 .
12 But Rab H7262 - shakeh said H559 W-VQY3MS , Hath my master H113 sent H7971 me to H413 thy master H113 and to H413 W-PREP-2MS thee to speak H1696 these H428 D-DPRO-3MP words H1697 AMP ? hath he not H3808 I-NADV sent me to H5921 PREP the men H376 D-NMP that sit H3427 upon H5921 PREP the wall H2346 , that they may eat H398 L-VQFC their own dung H6675 , and drink H8354 WL-VQFC their own piss H4325 with H5973 you ?
13 Then Rab H7262 - shakeh stood H5975 , and cried H7121 W-VQY3MS with a loud H1419 AMS voice H6963 in the Jews\' language H3066 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Hear H8085 VQI2MP ye the words H1697 CMP of the great H1419 AMS king H4428 NMS , the king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 .
14 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the king H4428 D-NMS , Let not H408 NPAR Hezekiah H2396 deceive H5377 you : for H3588 CONJ he shall not H3808 ADV be able H3201 VQY3MS to deliver H5337 L-VHFC you .
