21 Behold, you are trusting now in Egypt, ^othat broken reed of a staff, which will pierce the hand of any man who leans on it. Such is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.

24 How then can you repulse a single captain among the least of my master’s servants, when you trust in Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?

26 Then all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces arose and ^fwent to Egypt, for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
