2 Kings 18:19-21

19One of Sennacherib's officers said to them, ‘Tell Hezekiah that the king of Assyria, the great king, says this to him: “Why are you so sure that someone will rescue you from our power?

20You say that you have good plans. You say that your army is strong. But those are only useless words! You have turned against me, so who are you trusting to save you?

21Listen to me! You think that Egypt is strong enough to help you, do you? But you should not trust Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. He is like a weak stick. If you use it to walk with, it will break! A broken piece of stick will make a hole through your hand and give you much pain! That is the trouble that the king of Egypt brings to everyone who trusts him to help them.
