26Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah, to Rabshakeh, Please speak to your servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and don`t speak with us in the Jews` language, in the ears of the people who are on the wall.
27But Rabshakeh said to them, Has my master sent me to your master, and to you, to speak these words? Hasn`t he sent me to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water with you?
28Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews` language, and spoke, saying, Hear you the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.
29Thus says the king, Don`t let Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand:
30neither let Hezekiah make you trust in Yahweh, saying, Yahweh will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
31Don`t listen to Hezekiah: for thus says the king of Assyria, Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and eat you everyone of his vine, and everyone of his fig-tree, and everyone drink the waters of his own cistern;
32Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive-trees and of honey, that you may live, and not die: and don`t listen to Hezekiah, when he persuades you, saying, Yahweh will deliver us.
