Isaiah 36:4-6

Evangelical Heritage Version

Tell Hezekiah this is what the Great King, the king of Assyria, says.

What makes you so confident? ⁵ Your wisdom and military strength are based on empty promises. Who do you trust, so that you now have rebelled against me? ⁶ Tell me! Are you really trusting in Egypt to be your staff, that splintered reed that will pierce the hand of anyone who leans on it? That is what happens to anyone who relies on Pharaoh king of Egypt.
