Isaiah 36:5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵ Your wisdom and military strength are based on empty promises. Who do you trust, so that you now have rebelled against me? ⁶ Tell me! Are you really trusting in Egypt to be your staff, that splintered reed that will pierce the hand of anyone who leans on it? That is what happens to anyone who relies on Pharaoh king of Egypt.

⁷ If you say to me that you trust in the Lord your God, isn’t he the one whose high places and altars Hezekiah removed? Didn’t Hezekiah tell Judah and Jerusalem to worship at this altar?
