Isaiah 36:8-10

EasyEnglish Bible

⁸ So you should make an agreement with my master, the king of Assyria. I will give you 2,000 horses, if you have enough riders to put on them. ⁹ You cannot refuse what I offer to you! And I am only an unimportant officer who serves my master. You are hoping that Egypt will give you chariots and men to ride on horses. But you will never be strong enough to win a battle against us. ¹⁰ You should also understand this: It was the Lord himself who commanded me to bring my army here and attack Jerusalem. He said to me, “Attack this country and destroy it!” ’
