Isaiah 36:6 in Context — Isaiah 36
4 E [Rabsaqué] lhes disse: Dizei, pois, a Ezequias: Assim diz o grande rei, o rei da Assíria: Que confiança é essa, em que confias?
5 Eu, de fato, digo, que [teus] conselhos e poder de guerra são apenas palavras vazias. Em quem, pois, confias, para te rebelares contra mim?
6 Eis que confias no Egito, aquele bastão de cana quebrada, em quem se alguém se apoiar, entrará pela mão e a perfurará; assim é Faraó, rei do Egito, para com todos os que nele confiam.
7 Porém, se me disseres: Confiamos no SENHOR, nosso Deus; Por acaso não é este aquele cujos altos e cujos altares Ezequias tirou, e disse a Judá e a Jerusalém: Perante este altar adorareis?
8 Agora, pois, submeta-te à proposta do meu senhor, o rei da Assíria; e eu te darei dois mil cavalos, se tu podes dar dois mil cavaleiros para eles.
