Isaiah 36:5-7
Christian Standard Bible

Who are you now relying on that you have rebelled against me?(A) 6 Look, you are relying on Egypt, that splintered reed of a staff(B) that will pierce the hand of anyone who grabs it and leans on it. This is how Pharaoh king of Egypt is to all who rely on him.(C) 7 Suppose you say to me, ‘We rely on the Lord our God.’ Isn’t he the one whose high places and altars Hezekiah has removed, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, ‘You are to worship at this altar’?(D)
