2 Kings 18:20-21 ▼

20 You're saying—but they're only empty words—'I have enough advice and resources to conduct warfare!' '|Now who are you relying on, that you have rebelled against me?

21 Look, you're trusting on Egypt to lean on like a staff, but it's a crushed reed, and if you lean on it, it will collapse and pierce your hand. Pharaoh, king of Egypt, is just like that to everyone who relies on him!
