Now on whom dost thou trust{H982}{(H8804)}, that thou rebellest{H4775}{(H8804)} against me? 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. 22 But if ye say{H559}{(H8799)} unto me, We trust{H982}{(H8804)} in the LORD{H3068} our God{H430}: is not that he, whose high places{H1116} and whose altars{H4196} Hezekiah{H2396} hath taken away{H5493}{(H8689)}, and hath said{H559}{(H8799)} to Judah{H3063} and Jerusalem{H3389}, Ye shall worship{H7812}{(H8691)} before{H6440} this altar{H4196} in Jerusalem{H3389}? 23 Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges{H6148}{(H8690)} to my lord{H113} the king{H4428} of Assyria{H804}, and I will deliver{H5414}{(H8799)} thee two thousand{H505} horses{H5483}, if thou be able{H3201}{(H8799)} on thy part to set{H5414}{(H8800)} riders{H7392}{(H8802)} upon them. 24 How then wilt thou turn away{H7725}{(H8686)} the face{H6440} of one{H259} captain{H6346} of the least{H6996} of my master's{H113} servants{H5650}, and put thy trust{H982}{(H8799)} on Egypt{H4714} for chariots{H7393} and for horsemen{H6571}? 25 Am I now come up{H5927}{(H8804)} without{H1107} the LORD{H3068} against this place{H4725} to destroy{H7843}{(H8687)} it?
