2 Kings 18:20 in Context — 2 Kings 18

18 Chamaram logo ao rei, e saiu a eles Eliaquim filho de Hilquias, que era mordomo, e Sebna escriba, e Joá filho de Asafe, chanceler.

19 E disse-lhes Rabsaqué: Dizei agora a Ezequias: Assim diz o grande rei da Assíria: Que confiança é esta em que tu estás?

20 Dizes, (por certo palavras de lábios): Tenho conselho e esforço para a guerra. Mas em que confias, que te rebelaste contra mim?

21 Eis que tu confias agora neste bordão de cana quebrada, em Egito, no que se alguém se apoiar, lhe entrará pela mão, e se lhe passará. Assim é Faraó, rei do Egito, para todos os que nele confiam.
