Isaiah 36:5 CPDV

³  And those who went to him were Eliakim, son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, and Shebna, the scribe, and Joah, son of Asaph, the historian.

⁴  And Rabshakeh said to them: 'Tell Hezekiah: Thus says the great king, the king of the Assyrians: What is this faith in which you believe?

⁵  And by what counsel or strength would you prepare to rebel? In whom do you have faith, so much so that you would withdraw from me?

⁶  Behold, you are trusting in Egypt, in that broken staff of a reed. But if a man were to lean against it, it would enter his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, to all who trust in him.

⁷  But if you answer me by saying: 'We trust in the Lord our God.' Is it not his high places and altars that Hezekiah has taken away? And he has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, 'You shall worship before this altar.'
