Isaiah 36:21

Verse 21 of 22. The 36th of 66 chapters in Isaiah, in The Major Prophets.

17until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.

18Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, “The LORD will deliver us.” Have any of the gods of the nations delivered their lands from the hand of the king of Assyria?

19Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? Have they delivered Samaria from my hand?

20Who are they among all the gods of these countries that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?’”

21But they remained silent, and said nothing in reply, for the king’s commandment was, “Don’t answer him.”

22Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
