Isaiah 36:21

Isaiah 36:21 The Message (MSG)

The three men were silent. They said nothing, for the king had already commanded, “Don’t answer him.”

But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.

But they were silent and answered him not a word; for the king’s commandment was, “Do not answer him.”

The people were silent. They didn’t answer the commander at all, because King Hezekiah had ordered, “Don’t answer him.”

But they held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king’s commandment was, saying, Answer him not.

But the people remained silent and said nothing in reply, because the king had commanded, “Do not answer him.”

But they held their peace and answered him not a word; for the king’s commandment was, “Do not answer him.”

But they kept silent and did not say a word to him in reply, for King Hezekiah’s command was, “Do not answer him.”

But the people were silent and did not utter a word because Hezekiah had commanded them, “Do not answer him.”

But they were silent, and no one answered him a word, for King Hezekiah had ordered them, “Do not answer him.”

But they were silent and answered him not a word, for the king’s command was, “Do not answer him.”
