Isaiah 36:6-8

Revised Geneva Translation

⁶ “Lo, you trust in this broken staff of a reed, in Egypt, whereupon if a man leans, it will go into his hand and pierce it, as is Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to all who trust in him.

⁷ “But if you say to me, ‘We trust in the LORD our God,’ is not that He whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah took down and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar’?

⁸ “Now, therefore, give hostages to my lord, the king of Assyria. And I will give you two thousand horses (if you are able, on your part), to set riders upon them.
