Isaiah 36:4-6

Contemporary English Version

⁴ The Assyrian commander told them:

I have a message for Hezekiah from the great king of Assyria. Ask Hezekiah why he feels so sure of himself. ⁵ Does he think he can plan and win a war with nothing but words? Who is going to help him, now that he has turned against the king of Assyria? ^6 (A) Is he depending on Egypt and its king? That's the same as leaning on a broken stick, and it will go right through his hand.
