2 Kings 18:19-22
19And Rabshakeh said to them, “Say now to Hezekiah, ‘This is what the great king, the king of Assyria says: “1What is this confidence that you 2have?
20You say--but they are only 3empty words-I have a plan and strength for the war.’ Now on whom have you relied, 4that you have revolted against me?
21Now behold, you have 56relied on the 7support of this broken reed, on Egypt; on which if a man leans, it will go into his 8hand and pierce it. That is how Pharaoh king of Egypt is to all who rely on him.
22However, if you say to me, ‘We have trusted in the Lord our God,’ is it not He whose high places and 9whose altars Hezekiah has removed, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem’?
