New Testament

Isaiah 36:11-15 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

11. And Eliakim, and Shebna, and Joah said to Rabshakeh: "Speak to your servants in the Syrian language. For we understand it. Do not speak to us in the Jewish language, in the hearing of the people, who are upon the wall."

12. And Rabshakeh said to them: "Has my lord sent me to your lord and to you in order to speak all these words, and not even more so to the men who are sitting on the wall, so that they may eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?"

13. Then Rabshakeh stood up, and he cried out with a loud voice in the Jewish language, and he said: "Listen to the words of the great king, the king of the Assyrians.

14. Thus says the king: Do not let Hezekiah deceive you. For he will not be able to rescue you.

15. And do not let Hezekiah cause you to trust in the Lord, saying: 'The Lord will rescue and free us. This city will not be given into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.'
