2 Kings 18:19-21

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁹ And Rabshakeh said to them, “Please tell Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the great king, the great king of Assyria, “What confidence is this in which you trust?

²⁰ Do you think, ‘Surely, I have eloquence, counsel and strength for the war?’ In whom then do you trust that you rebel against me?

²¹ “Lo, now you trust in this broken staff of reed, on Egypt, upon which if a man leans, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to all who trust in him.
