13 Then Rabsakes stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jewish language and said, Hear the words of the great king, the king of the Assyrians,
14 Thus saith the king, Let not Ezekias deceive you with speeches. He cannot deliver you.
15 and let not Ezekias say to you, God will deliver you; and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of the Assyrians.
16 Hearken not to Ezekias. Thus saith the king of the Assyrians, If you wish to be happy, come out to me; and eat, every one, of his own vine and his own fig trees, and drink water from your own cisterns,
17 until I come and take you to a land like your own; a land of corn and wine, and of bread and vineyards.
18 Let not Ezekias deceive you saying, God will deliver you. Have the gods of the nations, delivered every one his own country out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians?
19 Where is the God of Emath and Arphath? And where is the God of the city Eppharuim? Were they able to deliver Samaria out of my hand?
20 Who is there of all the gods of the nations who hath delivered his country out of my hand, that God should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
21 But they were silent and none answered him a word, because the king had given a charge that none should answer.
22 Then Eliakim the son of Chelkias the steward, and Somnas the secretary at war and Joach the son of Asaph the recorder went to Ezekias with their clothes rent and told him the words of Rabsakes.
