¹⁹ Rabshakeh said to them, Say you now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this in which you trust?

²⁷ But Rabshakeh said to them, Has my master sent me to your master, and to you, to speak these words? Hasn't he sent me to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water with you?

²⁸ Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spoke, saying, Hear you the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.

²⁹ Thus says the king, Don't let Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand:

³¹ Don't listen to Hezekiah: for thus says the king of Assyria, Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and eat you everyone of his vine, and everyone of his fig tree, and everyone drink the waters of his own cistern;

¹⁰ Thus says Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon do you trust, that you abide the siege in Jerusalem?

¹¹ Does not Hezekiah persuade you, to give you over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, Yahweh our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

¹³ Don't you know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands in any wise able to deliver their land out of my hand?

³⁷ So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and lived at Nineveh.
