Isaiah 36:10-12
Holman Christian Standard Bible
10 Have I attacked this land to destroy it without the Lord’s approval? The Lord said to me, ‘Attack this land and destroy it.’”
11 Then Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah said to the Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic,(A) since we understand it. Don’t speak to us in Hebrew[a] within earshot of the people who are on the wall.”
12 But the Rabshakeh replied, “Has my master sent me to speak these words to your master and to you, and not to the men who are sitting on the wall, who are destined with you to eat their own excrement and drink their own urine?”

Isaiah 36:10-12
New International Version
10 Furthermore, have I come to attack and destroy this land without the Lord? The Lord himself told(A) me to march against this country and destroy it.’”
11 Then Eliakim, Shebna and Joah(B) said to the field commander, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic,(C) since we understand it. Don’t speak to us in Hebrew in the hearing of the people on the wall.”
12 But the commander replied, “Was it only to your master and you that my master sent me to say these things, and not to the people sitting on the wall—who, like you, will have to eat their own excrement and drink their own urine?(D)”
