以賽亞書 36：9-12
現代中文譯本（2019）
9 其實，他連亞述軍隊中最小的軍官也比不上，他還妄想埃及送戰車騎兵來援助！
10 他以為我沒有上主的幫助就來攻打他，毀滅他的國家嗎？上主親自吩咐我來攻擊他，並毀滅這國家。」
11 於是，以利亞敬、舍伯那，和約亞對那大將說：「先生，請用亞蘭語跟我們說話，我們聽得懂。請不要用希伯來語，因為城樓上的人民都在聽。」
12 大將說：「你們以為皇帝只叫我對你們和你們的王說這些話嗎？錯了，我也是對那些坐在城樓上的人民講的；他們跟你們一樣，都要吃自己的糞，喝自己的尿。」
ESV
9 How then can you repulse a single captain among the least of my master’s servants, when you trust in Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
10 Moreover, is it without the LORD that I have come up against this land to destroy it? The LORD said to me, “Go up against this land and destroy it.”’”
11 Then Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah said to the Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it. Do not speak to us in the language of Judah within the hearing of the people who are on the wall.”
12 But the Rabshakeh said, “Has my master sent me to speak these words to your master and to you, and not to the men sitting on the wall, who are doomed with you to eat their own dung and drink their own urine?”
《聖經串珠注釋》
10 拉伯沙基顯然引用以賽亞說過的預言，指出亞述乃是耶和華手中要擊打猶大的杖（見串）。
