Isaiah 36:21

21But the people remained silent and said nothing in reply, because the king had commanded, “Do not answer him.”

21But they were silent and did not answer him so much as a word; for the king’s command was, “Do not answer him.”

21But they were silent and answered him not a word; for the king’s commandment was, “Do not answer him.”

21But they kept silent and did not say a word to him in reply, for King Hezekiah’s command was, “Do not answer him.”

21But the people remained silent and did not answer a word, for Hezekiah had commanded, “Do not answer him.”

21But the people remained silent. They didn’t say anything. That’s because King Hezekiah had commanded, “Don’t answer him.”
