2 Kings 18:19-25

18:19

And Rabshakeh
<07262>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Speak
<0559> (8798)

ye now to Hezekiah
<02396>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the great
<01419>

king
<04428>_,

the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

What confidence
<0986>

[is] this wherein thou trustest
<0982> (8804)_?

18:20

Thou sayest
<0559> (8804)_,

(but [they are but] vain
<08193>

words
<01697>,)

[I have] counsel
<06098>

and strength
<01369>

for the war
<04421>_.

Now on whom dost thou trust
<0982> (8804)_,

that thou rebellest
<04775> (8804)

against me? {sayest: or, talkest} {vain...: Heb. word of the lips} {I have...: or, but counsel and strength are for the war}

18:21

Now, behold, thou trustest
<0982> (8804)

upon the staff
<04938>

of this bruised
<07533> (8803)

reed
<07070>_,

[even] upon Egypt
<04714>_,

on which if a man
<0376>

lean
<05564> (8735)_,

it will go
<0935> (8804)

into his hand
<03709>_,

and pierce
<05344> (8804)

it: so [is] Pharaoh
<06547>

king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>

unto all that trust
<0982> (8802)

on him. {trustest: Heb. trustest thee}

18:22

But if ye say
<0559> (8799)

unto me, We trust
<0982> (8804)

in the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_:

[is] not that he, whose high places
<01116>

and whose altars
<04196>

Hezekiah
<02396>

hath taken away
<05493> (8689)_,

and hath said
<0559> (8799)

to Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_,

Ye shall worship
<07812> (8691)

before
<06440>

this altar
<04196>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_?

18:23

Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges
<06148> (8690)

to my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

and I will deliver
<05414> (8799)

thee two thousand
<0505>

horses
<05483>_,

if thou be able
<03201> (8799)

on thy part to set
<05414> (8800)

riders
<07392> (8802)

upon them. {pledges: or, hostages}

18:24

How then wilt thou turn away
<07725> (8686)

the face
<06440>

of one
<0259>

captain
<06346>

of the least
<06996>

of my master's
<0113>

servants
<05650>_,

and put thy trust
<0982> (8799)

on Egypt
<04714>

for chariots
<07393>

and for horsemen
<06571>_?

18:25

Am I now come up
<05927> (8804)

without
<01107>

the LORD
<03068>

against this place
<04725>

to destroy
<07843> (8687)

it? The LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8804)

to me, Go up
<05927> (8798)

against this land
<0776>_,

and destroy
<07843> (8685)

it.
