Is it not concerning the men who are tarrying upon the wall, that they may eat and drink what cometh from them, with you? ¹³ So then Rabshakeh took his stand, and cried out with a loud voice, in the Jews’ language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria: ¹⁴ Thus, saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive’ you,––for he shall not be able to deliver you. ¹⁵ Neither let Hezekiah cause you to trust in Yahweh’ saying, Yahweh, will certainly deliver, us,––this city’ shall not be given over, into the hand of the king of Assyria. ¹⁶ Do not hearken unto Hezekiah,––for, thus, saith the king of Assyria, Deal with me thankfully, and come out unto me, Then shall ye eat, Every one of his own vine, and, Every one of his own fig–tree, And drink, every one the waters of his own cistern: ¹⁷ Until I come and take you, into, A land like your own land,––A land of corn, and new wine, A land of bread, and vineyards:–– ¹⁸ Lest Hezekiah, persuade you, saying, Yahweh, will deliver us! Have the gods of the nations, delivered,––any one of them––his country, out of the hand of the king of Assyria? ¹⁹ Where, are the gods of Hamath, and Arpad? Where, are the gods of Sepharvaim? If indeed they had only delivered Samaria, out of my hand! ²⁰ Who, are they, among all the gods of these countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand? That, Yahweh, should deliver, Jerusalem, out of my hand! ²¹ But they held their peace, and answered him not a word,––for, the command of the king, it was, saying,––Ye must not answer him. ²² Then came in––Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, the recorder, unto Hezekiah, with rent clothes,––and they told him the words of Rabshakeh.
