Isaias
Hebrew Bible
Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904
6 Lo, thou trustest on this bruised reed, on Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh ’of Egypt to all that trust in him.
7 And if thou say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: is it not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath removed, and said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
8 And now, exchange pledges, I pray, with my lord the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able to set for thyself riders upon them.
9 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one governor among the least of my ’s servants, and puttest thy trust in - Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
