2 Kings 18:30 In-Context

28 Then the commander stood and shouted loudly in the Hebrew language, "Listen to what the great king, the king of Assyria, says!
29 The king says you should not let Hezekiah fool you, because he can't save you from my power.
30 Don't let Hezekiah talk you into trusting the Lord by saying, 'The Lord will surely save us. This city won't be handed over to the king of Assyria.'
31 "Don't listen to Hezekiah. The king of Assyria says, 'Make peace with me, and come out of the city to me. Then everyone will be free to eat the fruit from his own grapevine and fig tree and to drink water from his own well.
32 After that I will come and take you to a land like your own -- a land with grain and new wine, bread and vineyards, olives, and honey. Choose to live and not to die!' "Don't listen to Hezekiah. He is fooling you when he says, 'The Lord will save us.'
