2 Kings 18:21-23

The Voice

²¹ You turn to a broken reed, Egypt. If a man leans on a broken reed, it stabs his palm. It is the same with Egypt’s Pharaoh and all who lean on him. ²² But you profess to me, ‘We put our faith in the Eternal One our God.’ Is it not His high places and altars that Hezekiah has torn down? Did not Hezekiah tell Judah and Jerusalem, ‘Worship at this place in Jerusalem’?”

²³ Make a deal with my master, Assyria’s king, and you will receive 2,000 horses from me. I hope you have enough riders for them.
