Book 23 Isaiah Chapter 036

 

036:001Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah,
that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the
defenced cities of Judah, and took them.

 

036:002And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to
Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood
by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the
fuller's field.

 

036:003Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, which was
over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son,
the recorder.

 

036:004And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus
saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is
this wherein thou trustest?

 

036:005I say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain words) I have
counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust,
that thou rebellest against me?

 

036:006Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt;
whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce
it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.

 

036:007But if thou say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: is it not
he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken
away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship
before this altar?

 

036:008Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to my master the king
of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou
be able on thy part to set riders upon them.

 

036:009How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the
least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for
chariots and for horsemen?

 

036:010And am I now come up without the LORD against this land to
destroy it? the LORD said unto me, Go up against this land,
and destroy it.

 

036:011Then 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.

 

036:012But 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?

 

036:013Then 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.

 

036:014Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he
shall not be able to deliver you.

 

036:015Neither 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.

 

036:016Hearken 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;

 

036:017Until 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.

 

036:018Beware 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?

 

036:019Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where are the gods of
Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?

 

036:020Who 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?

 

036:021But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for
the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.

 

036:022Then 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.
