Καὶ ἐγένετο τοῦ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτου ἔτους βασιλεύοντος Ἑζεκίου ἀνέβη Σενναχηρεὶμ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων ἐπὶ
τὰς πόλεις τῆς Ἰουδαίας τὰς ὀχυρὰς καὶ συνέλαβεν αὐτάς.

καὶ ἀπέστειλεν βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων Ῥαψάκην ἐκ Λαχεὶς εἷς Ἰερουσαλὴμ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ἐζεκίαν μετὰ δυνάμεως πολλῆς, καὶ ἔστη ἐν τῷ ὑδραγωγῷ τῆς κολυμβήθρας τῆς ἅνω, ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ τοῦ ἀγροῦ τοῦ
γναφέως.

καὶ ἐξῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἐλιακεὶμ ὃ τοῦ Χελκίου οἰκονόμος καὶ Σόμνας ὁ γραμματεὺς καὶ Ἰωὰχ ὁ τοῦ Ἀσὰφ ὁ
ὑπομνηματογράφος.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ῥαψάκης Εἴπατε Τάδε λέγει ὁ βασιλεὺς ὁ μέγας βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων Τί πεποιθὼς εἶ

μὴ ἐν βουλῇ ἢ ἐν λόγοις χειλέων παράταξις γίνεται; καὶ νῦν ἐπὶ
τίνι πέποιθας ὅτι ἀπειθεῖς μοι ;

ἰδοὺ πεποιθὼς εἶ ἐπὶ τὴν ῥάβδον τὴν καλαμίνην τὴν τεθλασμένην ταύτην, ἐπ’ Αἴγυπτον· ὃς ἂν ἐπιστηριχθῇ ἐπ’ αὑτήν, εἰσελεύσεται εἰς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ· οὕτως ἐστὶν Φαραὼ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου καὶ πάντες οἱ πεποιθότες ἐπ’
αὐτῷ.

εἰ δὲ λέγετε Ἐπὶ Κύριον τὸν θεὸν ἡμῶν πεποίθαμεν,

νῦν μίχθητε τῷ κυρίῳ μου βασιλεῖ Ἀσσυρίων, καὶ δώσω ὑμῖν
δισχιλίαν ἵππον, εἰ δυνήσεσθε δοῦναι ἀναβάτας ἐπ’ αὐτούς.

καὶ πῶς δύνασθε ἀποστρέψαι τὸ πρόσωπον τοπάρχου ἑνός ; οἰκέται
εἰσὶν οἱ πεποιθότες ἐπ’ Αἰγυπτίοις, εἰς ἵππον καὶ ἀναβάτην.

καὶ νῦν μὴ ἄνευ Κυρίου ἀνέβημεν ἐπὶ τὴν χώραν ταύτην πολεμῆσαι Καὶ ¹
αὐτήν ;

καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὑτὸν Ἐλιακεὶμ καὶ Σόμνας ὃ γραμματεὺς καὶ Ἰωάχ Λάλησον πρὸς τοὺς παῖδάς σου Συριστί, ἀκούομεν γὰρ ἡμεῖς, καὶ μὴ λάλει πρὸς ἡμᾶς Ἰουδαιστί· καὶ ἶνα τί λαλεῖς εἰς τὰ
ὦτα τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν καθημένων ἐπὶ τῷ τείχει ;

καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ῥαψάκης Μὴ πρὸς τὸν κύριον ὑμῶν ἢ πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἀπέσταλκέν με ὁ κύριός μου λαλῆσαι τοὺς λόγους τούτους ; οὐχὶ πρὸς τοὺς ἄνδρας τοὺς καθημένους ἐπὶ τῷ τείχει, ἵνα φάγωσιν κόπρον καὶ
πίωσιν οὖρον μεθ’ ὑμῶν ἅμα;

καὶ ἔστη Ῥαψάκης, καὶ ἐβόησεν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ Ἰουδαιστὶ καὶ εἶπεν Ἀκούσατε τοὺς λόγους τοῦ
βασιλέως τοῦ μεγάλου βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων

Τάδε λέγει ὁ βασιλεὺς Μὴ ὑμᾶς ἀπατάτω Ἑζεκίας λόγοις, οἶ οὐ μὴ δυνήσονται
ῥύσασθαι ὑμᾶς·

καὶ μὴ λεγέτω ὑμῖν Ἑζεκίας ὅτι Ῥύσεται ὑμᾶς ὁ θεός, καὶ οὔ μὴ παραδοθῇ ἡ πόλις αὕτη ἐν χειρὶ βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων
μὴ ἀκούετε Ἑζεκίου·

τάδε λέγει ὃ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων Εἰ βούλεσθε εὐλογηθῆναι, ἐκπορεύεσθε πρὸς μέ, καὶ φάγεσθε ἕκαστος τὴν ἄμπελον αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς συκᾶς, καὶ πίεσθε ὕδωρ τοῦ λάκκου ὑμῶν,

ἔως ἂν ἔλθω καὶ λάβω ὑμᾶς εἷς γῆν ὡς ἦ γῆ ὑμῶν, γῆ σίτου καὶ
οἴνου καὶ ἄρτων καὶ ἀμπελώνων.

μὴ ὑμᾶς ἀπατάτω Ἑζεκίας λέγων Ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν ῥύσεται ὑμᾶς. μὴ ἐρρύσαντο οἱ θεοὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν
ἕκαστος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ χώραν ἐκ χειρὸς βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων;

ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ θεὸς Αἱμὰρ καὶ Ἀρφάθ ; καὶ ὃ θεὸς τῆς πόλεως Σεπφαρείμ ;
μὴ ἐδύναντο ῥύσασθαι. Σαμάρειαν ἐκ χειρός μου;

τίς τῶν θεῶν πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν τούτων ἐρρύσατο τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς χειρός
μου, ὅτι ῥύσεται ὃ θεὸς τὴν Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἐκ χειρός μου ;

καὶ ἐσιώπησαν, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ λόγον, διὰ τὸ προστάξαι τὸν
βασιλέα μηδένα ἀποκριθῆναι.

καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰσῆλθεν ὁ τοῦ ² Χελκιίου ὁ οἰκονόμος καὶ Σόμνας ὁ γραμματεὺς τῆς δυνάμεως καὶ Ἰωάχ ὁ τοῦ Ασὰφ ὁ ὑπομνηματογράφος πρὸς Ἐζεκίαν ἐσχισμένοι τοὺς χιτῶνας καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν αὐτῷ τοὺς λόγους Ραψακου.

Καὶ ἐγένετο τοῦ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτου ἔτους βασιλεύοντος Ἑζεκίου ἀνέβη Σενναχηρεὶμ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις τῆς Ἰουδαίας τὰς ὀχυρὰς καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτάς.

καὶ ἀπέστειλεν βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων Ῥαβσάκην ἐκ Λαχεὶς εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ἐζεκίαν μετὰ δυνάμεως πολλῆς, καὶ ἔστη ἐν τῷ ὑδραγωγῷ τῆς κολυμβήθρας τῆς ἄνω, ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ τοῦ ἀγροῦ τοῦ γναφέως.

καὶ ἐξῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἐλιακεὶμ ὁ τοῦ Χελκείου ὁ οἰκονόμος καὶ Σόβνας ὁ γραμματεὺς καὶ Ἰωὰχ ὁ τοῦ Ἀσὰφ ὁ ὑπομνηματογράφος.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ῥαβσάκης Εἴπατε Ἑζεκίᾳ Τάδε λέγει ὁ βασιλεὺς ὁ μέγας βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων Τί πεποιθὼς εἶ;

μὴ ἐν βουλῇ καὶ λόγοις χειλέων παράταξις γίνεται; καὶ νῦν ἐπὶ τίνα πέποιθας ὅτι ἀπειθεῖς μοι;

ἰδοὺ πεποιθὼς εἶ ἐπὶ τὴν ῥάβδον τὴν καλαμίνην τὴν τεθλασμένην ταύτην, ἐπʼ Aἴγυπτον· ὃς ἂν ἐπιστηρισθῇ ἐπʼ αὐτήν, εἰσελεύσεται εἰς τὴν χείρα αὐτοῦ· οὕτως ἐστὶν Φαραὼ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου καὶ πάντες οἱ πεποιθότες ἐπʼ αὐτῷ.

εἰ δὲ λέγετε Ἐπὶ Κύριον τὸν θεὸν ἡμῶν πεποίθαμεν,

νῦν μίχθητε τῷ κυρίη μου τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἀσσυρίων, καὶ δώσω ὑμῖν δισχιλίαν ἵππον, εἰ δυνήσεσθε δοῦναι ἀναβάτας ἐπʼ αὐτούς.

καὶ πῶς δύνασθε ἀποστρέψαι εἰς πρόσωπον τῶν τοπαρχῶν ; οἰκέται εἰσὶν οἱ πεποιθότες ἐπʼ Αἴγυπτον, εἰς ἵππον ¹² καὶ ἀναβάτην.

καὶ νῦν μὴ ἄνευ Κυρίου ἀνέβημεν ἐπὶ τὴν χώραν ³ ταύτην πολεμῆσαι αὐτήν Κύριος εἶπεν πρὸς μέ Ἀνάβηθι ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ταύτην καὶ διάφθειρον αὐτήν.

καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἐλιακεὶμ καὶ Σόμνας καὶ Ἰώας Λάλησον πρὸς τοὺς παῖδάς σου Συριστί, ἀκούομεν γὰρ ἡμεῖς, καὶ μὴ λάλει πρὸς ἡμᾶς Ἰουδαιστί· καὶ ἵνα τί λαλεῖς εἰς τὰ ὦτα τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐπὶ τῷ τείχει;

καὶ εἶπεν Ῥαβσάκης πρὸς αὐτούς Μὴ πρὸς τὸν κύριον ὑμῶν ἢ πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἀπέσταλκέν με ὁ κύριός μου λαλῆσαι τοὺς λόγους τούτους; οὐχὶ πρὸς τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τοὺς καθημένους ἐπὶ τῷ τείχει, ἵνα φάγωσιν κόπρον καὶ πίωσιν οὖρον μεθʼ ὑμῶν ἅμα;

καὶ ἔστη Ῥαψάκης καὶ ἀνεβόησεν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ Ἰουδαιστὶ καὶ εἶπεν Ἀκούσατε τοὺς λόγους τοῦ βασιλέως τοῦ μεγάλου βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων

Τάδε λέγει ὁ βασιλεύς Μὴ ἀπατάτω ὑμᾶς Ἑζεκίας λόγοις, οὐ μὴ δύνηται ῥύσασθαι ὑμᾶς·

καὶ μὴ λεγέτω ὑμῖν Ἑζεκίας ὅτι Ῥύσεται ὑμᾶς ὁ θεός, καὶ οὐ μὴ παραδοθῇ ἡ πόλις αὕτη ἐν χειρὶ βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων·

μὴ ἀκούετε Ἑζεκίου τάδε λέγει ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων Εἰ βούλεσθε εὐλογηθῆναι, ἐκπορεύεσθε πρὸς μέ, καὶ φάγεσθε ἕκαστος τὴν ἄμπελον αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς συκᾶς, καὶ πίεσθε ὕδωρ τοῦ χαλκοῦ ὑμῶν,

ἕως ἂν ἔλθω καὶ λάβω ὑμᾶς εἰς γῆν ὡς ἡ γῆ ὑμῶν, γῆ σίτου καὶ οἴνου καὶ ἄρτων §καὶ ἀμπελώνων.

μὴ ἀπατάτω ὑμᾶς ⁴⁵⁷ Ἑζεκίας λέγων Ὁ θεὸς ῥύσεται ὑμᾶς. μὴ ἐρρύσαντο οἱ θεοὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν ἕκαστος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ χώραν ἐκ χειρὸς βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων;

ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ θεὸς Ἑμὰθ καὶ Ἀρφάθ; καὶ ποῦ ὁ θεὸς τῆς πόλεως Ἐπφαρουαίμ; μὴ ἐδύναντο ῥύσασθαι Σαμάρειαν ἐκ χειρός μου;

τίς τῶν θεῶν πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν τούτων ὅστις ἐρρύσατο τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ ἐκ χειρός μου, ὅτι ῥύσεται ὁ θεὸς τὴν Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἐκ χειρός μου;

καὶ ἐσιώπησαν, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ λόγον, διὰ τὸ προστάξαι τὸν βασιλέα μηδένα ἀποκριθῆναι.

καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἐλιακεὶμ ὁ τοῦ Χελκίου ὁ οἰκονόμος καὶ Σόμνας ὁ γραμματεὺς τῆς δυνάμεως καὶ Ἰωὰχ ὁ τοῦ Ἀσὰφ ὁ ὑπομνηματογράφος πρὸς Ἑζεκίαν ἐσχισμένοι τοὺς χιτῶνας, καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν αὐτῷ τοὺς λόγους Ῥαβσάκου.

Isaiah Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 36 focus

Now it happened in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.

The king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to king Hezekiah with a great army. He stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field.

Then came forth to him Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder.

Rabshakeh said to them, Say you now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this in which you trust?

I say, [your] counsel and strength for the war are but vain words: now on whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?

Behold, you trust on the staff of this bruised reed, even on Egypt, whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust on him.

But if you tell me, We trust in Yahweh our God: isn’t that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, You shall worship before this altar?

Now therefore, please give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders on them.

How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?

Am I now come up without Yahweh against this land to destroy it? Yahweh said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.

Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah to Rabshakeh, Please speak, to your servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and don’t speak to us in the Jews’ language, in the ears of the people who are on the wall.

But Rabshakeh said, Has my master sent me to your master, and to you, to speak these words? [has he] not [sent me] to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water with you?

Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and said, Hear you the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.

Thus says the king, Don’t let Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you:

neither let Hezekiah make you trust in Yahweh, saying, Yahweh will surely deliver us; this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.

Don’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 drink you everyone the waters of his own cistern;

until 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.

Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, Yahweh will deliver us. Has any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?

Who are they among all the gods of these countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Yahweh should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

But they held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king’s commandment was, saying, Don’t answer him.

Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
