Isaiah 36:5

You claim to have a strategy and strength for war, but these are empty words. In whom are you now trusting, that you have rebelled against me?

Note Literally You speak; see DSS and 2 Kings 18:20; MT I speak.

I say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain words) I have counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?

Note vain…: Heb. a word of lips

Note I have…: or, but counsel and strength are for the war

I say that your counsel and strength for the war are only vain words. Now in whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?

I say, thy counsel and strength for the war are but vain words: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou hast rebelled against me?
