How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?

The verse 9 is found in chapter 36 of Isaiah. The Assyrian invasion reaches Jerusalem, and the Rabshakeh attempts to destroy the people’s confidence through propaganda. His speech portrays Yahweh as unable to save, confusing the defeat of other nations with the defeat of Israel’s God. Hezekiah tears his clothes and seeks the prophetic word, showing a different response based on dependence upon God.

Wie willst du denn bleiben vor einem Hauptmann, der geringsten Diener einem meines Herrn? Und du verlässest dich auf Ägypten um der Wagen und Reiter willen.
¿Cómo pues harás volver el rostro de un capitán de los más pequeños siervos de mi señor, aunque estés confiado en Egipto por sus carros y hombres de a caballo?
¿Cómo podrás rechazar a un solo gobernador de entre los servidores de menor rango de mi señor? Sin embargo, confías en Egipto para conseguir carros y jinetes.
Comment repousserais-tu un seul chef d'entre les moindres serviteurs de mon maître? Tu mets ta confiance dans l'Egypte pour les chars et pour les cavaliers.
E come faresti tu voltar faccia all’uno de’ capitani d’infra i minimi servitori del mio signore? Ma tu ti sei confidato nell’Egitto, per de’ carri e per della gente a cavallo.
Como, pois, poderás repelir a um só capitão dos menores servos do meu senhor, quando confias no Egito, por causa dos carros e cavaleiros?
若不然,怎能使我主臣僕中最小的一個軍官轉臉而逃呢?你難道要倚靠 埃及 的戰車和騎兵嗎?
