2 Kings 18:20

Thou 11sayest, (but they are but 12vain words,) 13I have counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom 14dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?

Thou sayest, (but they are but vain words,) I have counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?

NKJV: You speak of having plans and power for war; but they are mere words. And in whom do you trust, that you rebel against me?

ESV: Do you think that mere words are strategy and power for war? In whom do you now trust, that you have rebelled against me?
