Isaiah 36:4-6

English Standard Version

⁴ And the Rabshakeh said to them, “Say to Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the ^(A)great king, the king of Assyria: On what do you rest this trust of yours? ⁵ Do you think that mere words are strategy and power for war? In whom do you now trust, that you have rebelled against me? ^6 (B)Behold, you are trusting in Egypt, that broken reed of a staff, which will pierce the hand of any man who leans on it. Such is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.
