Isaiah 36:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ there came out to meet him Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who was master of the palace, as well as Shebna the secretary, and the recorder Joah, son of Asaph.

⁴ The chief officer said to them, “Tell King Hezekiah: This is the message of the great king, the king of Assyria. On what do you base this great confidence of yours? ⁵ Do you think that mere words can overcome strategy and military strength? On whom are you relying for help that you dare to rebel against me?
