2 Kings 18:20-24

20Thou sayest — but it is a wordH1697 of the lipsH8193 — There is counselH6098 and strengthH1369 for warH4421. NowH6258 on whom dost thou relyH982, that thou hast revolted against me?

21NowH6258 behold, thou reliest upon the staffH4938 of that broken reedH7070, upon EgyptH4714, on which if a manH376 leanH5564, it goesH935 into his handH3709 and pierces it: soH3651 is PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 to all that relyH982 upon him.

22And if ye sayH559 to me, We relyH982 upon Jehovah our 1GodH430: is it not he whose highH1116 placesH1116 and whose altarsH4196 HezekiahH2396 has removedH5493, sayingH559 to JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, Ye shall worship before this altarH4196 in JerusalemH3389?

23And nowH6258, engage, I pray thee, with my masterH113 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and I will giveH5414 thee two thousandH505 horsesH5483, if thou canst setH5414 the ridersH7392 upon them.

24HowH349 then wilt thou turnH7725 awayH7725 the faceH6440 of oneH259 captain of the least of my master's servantsH5650? And thou reliest upon EgyptH4714 for chariotsH7393 and for horsemenH6571!
