Isaiah 36:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ Or with what counsel or strength dost thou prepare for war? on whom dost thou trust, that thou art revolted from me?

⁶ Lo thou trustest upon this broken staff of a reed, upon Egypt: upon which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharao king or Egypt to all that trust in him.

⁷ But if thou wilt answer me: We trust in the Lord our God: is it not he whose high places and altars Ezechias hath taken away, and hath said to Juda and Jerusalem: You shall worship before this altar?
