Verse 5
I say "Thou hast said" - Fourteen MSS. (three ancient) of Kennicott's and De Rossi's have it in the second person, אמרת amarta ; and so the other copy, 2 Kings 18:20 .
But they are but vain words - שפתים דבר debar sephathayim , a word of the lips. Thou dost talk about counsels, but thou hast none; about strength, but there is none with thee.
