Melachim Bais 18:25-27

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²⁵ Am I now come up without Hashem against this makom to destroy it? Hashem said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.

²⁶ Then said Elyakim Ben Chilkiyah, and Shevna, and Yoach, unto Rav Shakeh, Speak, now, to thy avadim in Aramit (Aramaic); for we understand it; and speak not to us in Yehudit (Hebrew) in the ears of the people that are on the chomah.

²⁷ But Rav Shakeh said unto them, Hath adoni sent me to adoneicha, and to thee, to speak these words? Hath he not sent me to the anashim which sit on the chomah, that may eat their own dung, and drink their own urine with you?
