12:018:023 Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my lord the king
           of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if
           thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.

12:018:024 How 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?

12:018:025 Am I now come up without the lord against this place to
           destroy it?  The lord said to me, Go up against this land, and
           destroy it.

12:018:026 Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah,
           unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the
           Syrian language; for we understand it:  and talk not with us in
           the Jews’ language in the ears of the people that are on the
           wall.

12:018:027 But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy
           master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me
           to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own
           dung, and drink their own piss with you?

12:018:028 Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’
           language, and spake, saying, Hear the word of the great king,
           the king of Assyria: 

12:018:029 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you:  for he
           shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand: 

12:018:030 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the lord, saying, The
           lord will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be
           delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

12:018:031 Hearken not to Hezekiah:  for thus saith the king of Assyria,
           Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me,
           and then eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one of
           his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his
           cistern: 

12:018:032 Until 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, a land
           of oil olive and of honey, that ye may live, and not die:  and
           hearken not unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, The
           lord will deliver us.

12:018:033 Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land
           out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

12:018:034 Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods
           of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? have they delivered Samaria out
           of mine hand?

12:018:035 Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have
           delivered their country out of mine hand, that the lord should
           deliver Jerusalem out of mine hand?
