2Ki 18:21, Isa 36:6 | Geneva | STEP | Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, [even] upon {g} Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him. (g) Egypt will not only be unable to help you, but will be a detriment to you.

2 Kings 18:21

Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, [even] upon {g} Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him.

(g) Egypt will not only be unable to help you, but will be a detriment to you.

Isaiah 36:6

Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; on which if a man lean, it will enter his hand, and pierce it: so [is] {g} Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.

(g) Satan laboured to pull the godly king from one vain confidence to another: that is, from trust in the Egyptians, whose power was weak and would deceive them, to yield himself to the Assyrians, and so not to hope for any help from God.
