2 Kings 18:26-28
1599 Geneva Bible
26 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah said unto Rabshakeh, Speak I pray thee, to thy servants in the [a]Aramites’ language, for we understand it, and talk not with us in the Jews’ tongue, in the audience of the people that are on the wall.
27 But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words, and not to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink [b]their own piss with you?
28 So Rabshakeh stood, and spake, saying, Hear the words of the great king, of the king of Assyria.
