So is Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to all who trust in him. 7 But if you say to me, ‘We trust in the LORD our God,’ isn’t He the one whose high places and altars Hezekiah removed, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, 'You must worship at this altar’? 8 Now then, make a wager with my master, the king of Assyria: I will give you two thousand horses—if you can provide riders for them! 9 How then can you turn away even one of the least of my master’s officials? And you rely on Egypt for chariots and horsemen? 10 Now, have I attacked this land to destroy it without the LORD’s approval? The LORD Himself told me, 'Go up against this land and destroy it.' 11 Then Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah said to the Rabshakeh, 'Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, since we understand it. Don’t speak to us in Hebrew in the hearing of the people on the wall.' 12 But the Rabshakeh replied, 'Has my master sent me only to your master and to you to speak these words?

    12 Foreigners, the most ruthless of nations, cut it down and abandoned it. Its branches fell on the mountains and in all the valleys; its boughs were broken in all the ravines of the earth, and all the nations of the earth left its shade.

    13 All the birds of the sky rested on its fallen trunk, and all the wild animals were among its branches.

For they have all been consigned to death, to the lower earth, among the sons of men, with those who go down to the pit.
