Isaiah 36:10-12
Living Bible
10 What’s more, do you think I have come here without the Lord’s telling me to take this land? The Lord said to me, ‘Go and destroy it!’”
11 Then Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah said to him, “Please talk to us in Aramaic,[a] for we understand it quite well. Don’t speak in Hebrew, for the people on the wall will hear.”
12 But he replied, “My master wants everyone in Jerusalem to hear this, not just you. He wants them to know that if you don’t surrender, this city will be put under siege until everyone is so hungry and thirsty that he will eat his own dung and drink his own urine.”
