2 those who are setting out to go down to Egypt+ and who have not inquired of my own mouth,+ to take shelter in the stronghold of Pharʹaoh and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!+

4 Accordingly Rabʹsha·keh said to them: “Please, say to Hez·e·kiʹah, ‘This is what the great king,+ the king of As·syrʹi·a,+ has said: “What is this confidence in which you have trusted?+

18 And now what concern should you have for the way of Egypt+ in order to drink the waters of Shiʹhor?*+ And what concern should you have for the way of As·syrʹi·a+ in order to drink the waters of the River?*

5 And there was a military force of Pharʹaoh that came out of Egypt;+ and the Chal·deʹans that were laying siege to Jerusalem got to hear the report about them. So they withdrew from against Jerusalem.+

11 And Eʹphra·im proves to be like a simpleminded dove+ without heart.*+ To Egypt they have called;+ to As·syrʹi·a they have gone.+
