Isaiah 36:8-10

New American Standard Bible

⁸ Now then, come make a wager with my master the king of Assyria: I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to put riders on them! ⁹ How then can you ^[a]drive back even one ^[b]official of the least of my master’s servants and ^[c](A)rely on Egypt for chariots and horsemen? ¹⁰ And have I now come up ^[d]without the Lord’s approval against this land to destroy it? ^(B)The Lord said to me, ‘Go up against this land and destroy it.’”’”
