Isaiah 36:5-7
New American Standard Bible 1995
5 I say, ‘Your counsel and strength for the war are only [a]empty words.’ Now on whom do you rely, that (A)you have rebelled against me? 6 Behold, you rely on the (B)staff of this crushed reed, even on Egypt, on which if a man leans, it will go into his [b]hand and pierce it. (C)So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who rely on him. 7 But if you say to me, ‘We trust in the Lord our God,’ is it not He (D)whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar’?
