Isaiah 36:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ You say you have battle plans and power for war. But your words mean nothing. 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. If you lean on it for help, it will stab you and hurt you. The king of Egypt will hurt those who depend on him. ⁷ You might say, “We are depending on the Lord our God.” But Hezekiah destroyed the Lord’s altars and the places of worship. Hezekiah told Judah and Jerusalem, “You must worship only at this one altar.”
