Isaiah 36:8-10
International Standard Version
8 Come now, all of you,[a] make a bet with my master, the king of Assyria: I will give you two thousand horses, if you can furnish riders for them! 9 How, then, can you repulse even one officer from[b] the least of my master’s officials, when you are depending for yourselves[c] on Egypt for chariots and horsemen? 10 One other thing: have I really marched against this country to destroy it apart from the Lord’s direction?[d] The Lord himself ordered me, ‘March against this country to[e] destroy it.’”[f]

New International Version
8 “‘Come now, make a bargain with my master, the king of Assyria: I will give you two thousand horses(A)—if you can put riders on them! 9 How then can you repulse one officer of the least of my master’s officials, even though you are depending on Egypt(B) for chariots(C) and horsemen[a]?(D) 10 Furthermore, have I come to attack and destroy this land without the Lord? The Lord himself told(E) me to march against this country and destroy it.’”
