Isaiah 36:4-6

New Century Version

⁴ The field commander said to them, “Tell Hezekiah this:

“‘The great king, the king of Assyria, says: What can you trust in now? ⁵ You say you have battle plans and power for war, but your words mean nothing. Whom are you trusting for help so that you turn against me? ⁶ Look, you are depending on Egypt to help you, but Egypt is like a splintered walking stick. If you lean on it for help, it will stab your hand and hurt you. The king of Egypt will hurt all those who depend on him.
