The word of the great king, the king of Assyria, which Rabshakeh gives to be told to Hezekiah

랍사게가 히스기야에게 고하라고 전한 대왕 앗수르 왕의 말씀

2 Kings 18:19–22: Rabshakeh says to them, “Say now to Hezekiah, ‘The great king, the king of Assyria, says, “What confidence is this in which you trust? You say but they are but vain words, ‘There is counsel and strength for war.’ Now on whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me? Now, behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt. If a man leans on it, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust on him. But if you tell me, ‘We trust in the LORD our God,’ isn’t that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem’?”’” WEB sets “but they are but vain words” (18:20) in parentheses, and keeps the king’s message open to the end of 18:25; the Korean Revised Version closes the great king’s words at the end of 18:22 (하셨나니), reads 이는 입에 붙은 말 뿐이라 (this is only words of the mouth) at 18:20, and 너희가 혹시 내게 이르기를 (if you, plural, say to me) at 18:22.
