2 Kings 18:19-21
International Standard Version
19 Rab-shakeh told them, “Tell Hezekiah right now, ‘This is what the great king, the king of Assyria says:
‘“Why are you so confident? 20 You’re saying—but they’re only empty words—‘I have enough[a] advice and resources to conduct warfare!’
‘“Now who are you relying on, that you have rebelled against me? 21 Look, you’re trusting on Egypt to lean on like a staff, but it’s a crushed reed, and if you lean on it, it will collapse and pierce your hand. Pharaoh, king of Egypt, is just like that to everyone who relies on him!
