Look, you must be trusting in Egypt, that splintered reed staff. If someone leans on it for support, it punctures his hand and wounds him. That is what Pharaoh king of Egypt does to all who trust in him!

King Tiglath-pileser of Assyria came, but he gave him more trouble than support.Ahaz gathered riches from the LORD’s temple, the royal palace, and the officials and gave them to the king of Assyria, but that did not help.

“ To the one in despair, kindness should come from his friend even if he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.My brothers have been as treacherous as a seasonal stream, and as the riverbeds of the intermittent streams that flow away.They are dark because of ice; snow is piled up over them.When they are scorched, they dry up, when it is hot, they vanish from their place.Caravans turn aside from their routes; they go into the wasteland and perish.The caravans of Tema looked intently for these streams; the traveling merchants of Sheba hoped for them.They were distressed, because each one had been so confident; they arrived there, but were disappointed.

Then all those living in Egypt will know that I am the LORD because they were a reed staff for the house of Israel;when they grasped you with their hand, you broke and tore their shoulders, and when they leaned on you, you splintered and caused their legs to be unsteady.

“ The rebellious children are as good as dead,” says the LORD,“ those who make plans without consulting me, who form alliances without consulting my Spirit, and thereby compound their sin.They travel down to Egypt without seeking my will, seeking Pharaoh’s protection, and looking for safety in Egypt’s protective shade.But Pharaoh’s protection will bring you nothing but shame, and the safety of Egypt’s protective shade nothing but humiliation.

At my first defense no one appeared in my support; instead they all deserted me– may they not be held accountable for it.
