Isaiah 36:12 in Context — Isaiah 36
10 D’ailleurs, est-ce sans la volonté de l’Éternel que je suis monté contre ce pays pour le détruire? L’Éternel m’a dit: Monte contre ce pays, et détruis-le.
11 Éliakim, Schebna et Joach dirent à Rabschaké: Parle à tes serviteurs en araméen, car nous le comprenons; et ne nous parle pas en langue judaïque aux oreilles du peuple qui est sur la muraille.
12 Rabschaké répondit: Est-ce à ton maître et à toi que mon maître m’a envoyé dire ces paroles? N’est-ce pas à ces hommes assis sur la muraille pour manger leurs excréments et pour boire leur urine avec vous?
13 Puis Rabschaké s’avança et cria de toute sa force en langue judaïque: Écoutez les paroles du grand roi, du roi d’Assyrie!
14 Ainsi parle le roi: Qu’Ézéchias ne vous abuse point, car il ne pourra vous délivrer.
