Thou sayest， （but they are but vain words，） I have counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust， that thou rebellest against me？
18：21 看哪，你所倚靠的埃及是那压伤的苇杖人若靠这杖，就必刺透他的手。埃及王法老向一切倚靠他的人也是这样。
Now， behold， thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed， even upon Egypt， on which if a man lean， it will go into his hand， and pierce it： so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him.
18：22 你们若对我说，我们倚靠耶和华我们的神，希西家岂不是将神的邱坛和祭坛废去，且对犹大和耶路撒冷的人说，你们当在耶路撒冷这坛前敬拜吗。
But if ye say unto me， We trust in the LORD our God： is not that he， whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away， and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem， Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem？
18：23 现在你把当头给我主亚述王，我给你二千匹马，看你这一面骑马的人够不够。
Now therefore， I pray thee， give pledges to my lord the king of Assyria， and I will deliver thee two thousand horses， if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
18：24 若不然，怎能打败我主臣仆中最小的军长呢。你竟倚靠埃及的战车马兵吗。
How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants， and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen？
18：25 现在我上来攻击毁灭这地，岂没有耶和华的意思吗。耶和华吩咐我说，你上去攻击毁灭这地吧。
Am I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it？ The LORD said to me， Go up against this land， and destroy it.
18：26 希勒家的儿子以利亚敬和舍伯那，并约亚，对拉伯沙基说，求你用亚兰言语和仆人说话，因为我们懂得。不要用犹大言语和我们说话，达到城上百姓的耳中。
Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah， and Shebna， and Joah， unto Rabshakeh， Speak， I pray thee， to thy servants in the Syrian language； for we understand it： and talk not with us in the Jews' language in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
18：27 拉伯沙基说，我主差遣我来，岂是单对你和你的主说这些话吗。不也是对这些坐在城上，要与你们一同吃自己粪，喝自己尿的人说吗。
But Rabshakeh said unto them， Hath my master sent me to thy master， and to thee， to speak these words？ hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall， that they may eat their own dung， and drink their own piss with you？
18：28 于是拉伯沙基站着，用犹大言语大声喊着说，你们当听亚述大王的话。
Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language， and spake， saying， Hear the word of the great king， the king of Assyria：
18：29 王如此说，你们不要被希西家欺哄了。因他不能救你们脱离我的手。
Thus saith the king， Let not Hezekiah deceive you： for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand：
18：30 也不要听希西家使你们倚靠耶和华，说耶和华必要拯救我们，这城必不交在亚述王的手中。
Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD， saying， The LORD will surely deliver us， and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
18：31 不要听希西家的话。因亚述王如此说，你们要与我和好，出来投降我，各人就可以吃自己葡萄树和无花果树的果子，喝自己井里的水。
Hearken not to Hezekiah： for thus saith the king of Assyria， Make an agreement with me by a present， and come out to me， and then eat ye every man of his own vine， and every one of his fig tree， and drink ye every one the waters of his cistern：
18：32 等我来领你们到一个地方与你们本地一样，就是有五谷和新酒之地，有粮食和葡萄园之地，有橄榄树和蜂蜜之地，好使你们存活，不至于死。希西家劝导你们，说耶和华必拯救我们；你们不要听他的话。
Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land， a land of corn and wine， a land of bread and vineyards， a land of oil olive and of honey， that ye may live， and not die： and hearken not unto Hezekiah， when he persuadeth you， saying， The LORD will deliver us.
18：33 列国的神有哪一个救他本国脱离亚述王的手呢。
Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria？
18：34 哈马，亚珥拔的神在哪里呢。西法瓦音，希拿，以瓦的神在哪里呢。他们曾救撒马利亚脱离我的手吗。
Where are the gods of Hamath， and of Arpad？ where are the gods of Sepharvaim， Hena， and Ivah？ have they delivered Samaria out of mine hand？
18：35 这些国的神有谁曾救自己的国脱离我的手呢。难道耶和华能救耶路撒冷脱离我的手吗。
Who are they among all the gods of the countries， that have delivered their country out of mine hand， that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of mine hand？
18：36 百姓静默不言，并不回答一句，因为王曾吩咐说，不要回答他。
But the people held their peace， and answered him not a word： for the king's commandment was， saying， Answer him not.
18：37 当下，希勒家的儿子家宰以利亚敬和书记舍伯那，并亚萨的儿子史官约亚，都撕裂衣服，来到希西家那里，将拉伯沙基的话告诉了他。
Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah， which was over the household， and Shebna the scribe， and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder， to Hezekiah with their clothes rent， and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
