^{13 Ref} 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.

^{14 Ref} Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you:

^{15 Ref} neither let Hezekiah make you trust in Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will surely deliver us; this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.

^{16 Ref} Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make your peace with me, 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;

^{17 Ref} 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 Ref} Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
