Isaiah 36:9-11

Modern English Version

⁹ How then will you turn away one captain of the least of my master’s servants and rely on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen? ¹⁰ Have I now come up without the approval of the Lord against this land to destroy it? The Lord said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.”

¹¹ Then Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to the Rabshakeh, “Speak now to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it. And do not speak to us in Hebrew in the ears of the people who are on the wall.”
