Isaiah 36:9-11
New American Standard Bible
9 How then can you [a]drive back even one [b]official of the least of my master’s servants and [c](A)rely on Egypt for chariots and horsemen? 10 And have I now come up [d]without the Lord’s approval against this land to destroy it? (B)The Lord said to me, ‘Go up against this land and destroy it.’”’”
11 Then Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in (C)Aramaic, for we [e]understand it; and do not speak to us in [f](D)Judean [g]so that the people who are on the wall hear you.”

Isaiah 36:9-11
New International Version
9 How then can you repulse one officer of the least of my master’s officials, even though you are depending on Egypt(A) for chariots(B) and horsemen[a]?(C) 10 Furthermore, have I come to attack and destroy this land without the Lord? The Lord himself told(D) me to march against this country and destroy it.’”
11 Then Eliakim, Shebna and Joah(E) said to the field commander, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic,(F) since we understand it. Don’t speak to us in Hebrew in the hearing of the people on the wall.”
