Isaiah 36:6-9
6BeholdH2009, you relyH982 on the 1staffH4938 of thisH2088 crushedH7533 reedH7070, even on EgyptH4714, on whichH834 if a manH376 leansH5564, it will goH935 into his 2handH3709 and pierceH5344 it. 3SoH3651 is PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 to allH3605 who relyH982 on him.
7But ifH3588 you sayH559 to me, ‘We trustH982 in the LordH3068 our GodH430,’ is it not He 4whoseH834 highH1116 placesH1116 and whose altarsH4196 HezekiahH2396 has takenH5493 awayH5493 and has saidH559 to JudahH3063 and to JerusalemH3389, ‘You shall worshipH7812 beforeH6440 thisH2088 altarH4196’?
8NowH6258 therefore, 5comeH4994 makeH6148 a bargainH6148 with my masterH113 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and I will giveH5414 you two thousandH505 horsesH5483, ifH518 you are ableH3201 on your part to setH5414 ridersH7392 on them.
9HowH349 then can you 6repulseH7725H6440 oneH259 7officialH6346 of the leastH6996 of my master’sH113 servantsH5650 and 89relyH982 on EgyptH4714 for chariotsH7393 and for horsemenH6571?
