Hezekiah says, ‘YHWH our God will deliver us from the hand of the king of Assyria,’ but he is misleading y’all to give y’all over to die of hunger and thirst.
Beware lest Hezekiah persuade y’all, saying, “YHWH will deliver us.” Have any of the gods of the nations delivered their lands from the hand of the king of Assyria?
But Rabshakeh said, “Has my master sent me only to your master and to you to speak these words, and not to the people who sit on the wall, who will eat their own dung and drink their own urine with y’all?”
Now don’t let Hezekiah deceive y’all nor mislead y’all in this way. Y’all should not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people from my hand or the hand of my predecessors. How much less will y’all’s God deliver y’all from my hand?”
“Y’all are to tell Hezekiah king of Judah this: ‘Don’t let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Don’t let Hezekiah convince y’all to trust in YHWH, saying, “YHWH will deliver-deliver us, and this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”
But Rabshakeh said to them, “Has my master sent me only to you and your master and to say these words? Hasn’t he also sent me to the people sitting on the wall, destined with y’all to eat their own dung, and to drink their own urine?”
Did not Hezekiah himself take away ʜɪꜱ high places and ʜɪꜱ altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, ‘Y’all are to worship before one altar and burn incense on it?’
