2 Kings 18:19-21

19Then Rabshakeh said to them, “Say now to Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria, “1What is this confidence that you 2have?

20You say (but they are 3only empty words), ‘I have counsel and strength for the war.’ Now on whom do you rely, 4that you have rebelled against me?

21Now behold, you 56rely on the staff of this crushed reed, even on Egypt; on which if a man leans, it will go into his 7hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who rely on him.
