Verse 21

Now, behold, thou trustest{H982}{(H8804)} upon the staff{H4938} of this bruised{H7533}{(H8803)} reed{H7070}, even upon Egypt{H4714}, on which if a man{H376} lean{H5564}{(H8735)}, it will go{H935}{(H8804)} into his hand{H3709}, and pierce{H5344}{(H8804)} it: so is Pharaoh{H6547} king{H4428} of Egypt{H4714} unto all that trust{H982}{(H8802)} on him.
