Isaiah 36:5

New English Translation

⁵Your claim to have a strategy and military strength is just empty talk.^[a] In whom are you trusting, that you would dare to rebel against me?

Isaiah 36:5 tn Heb “you say only a word of lips, counsel and might for battle.” Sennacherib’s message appears to be in broken Hebrew at this point. The phrase “word of lips” refers to mere or empty talk in Prov 14:23.

Isaiah 36:5

⁵I say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain words) I have counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
