Isaiah 36:6-9

6Behold, you have relied on the 1staff of this broken reed, on Egypt, on which if a man leans, it will go into his 2hand and pierce it. 3So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who rely on him.

7But if you say to me, ‘We trust in the Lord our God,’ is it not He 4whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar’?

8Now then, come make a wager with my master the king of Assyria: I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to put riders on them!

9How then can you 5drive back even one 6official of the least of my master’s servants and 7 8rely on Egypt for chariots and horsemen?
