3 And aEliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, bShebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the recorder, came out to him.
4 aThen the Rabshakeh said to them, “Say now to Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: “What confidence is this in which you trust?
5 I say you speak of having plans and power for war; but they are1 mere words. Now in whom do you trust, that you rebel against me?
6 Look! You are trusting in the astaff of this broken reed, Egypt, on which if a man leans, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who btrust in him.
7 “But if you say to me, ‘We trust in the Lord our God,’ is it not He whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and said to Judah and Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar’?” ’
