Whom are you trusting for help so that you turn against me? 6 Look, you are depending on Egypt to help you. Egypt is like a splintered walking stick.

4 The field commander said to them, “Tell Hezekiah:
“‘This is what the great king, the king of Assyria, says: On what are you basing this confidence of yours? 5 You say you have counsel and might for war—but you speak only empty words.

Such is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who depend on him.
