Isaiah 36:5-9

I say, ‘Your plan and strength for the war are only empty words.’ Now on whom have you relied, that you have revolted against me?

Behold, you have relied on the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt, on which if a man leans, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who rely on him.

But if you say to me, ‘We trust in the Lord our God,’ is it not He whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar’?

Now then, come make a wager with my master the king of Assyria: I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to put riders on them!

How then can you drive back even one official of the least of my master’s servants and rely on Egypt for chariots and horsemen?
