- king of Egypt:
- "Now,¹ behold,¹ thou trustestª° upon¹ the staffª of this¹ bruisedª° reed,ª [even] upon¹ Egypt,ª on¹ which¹ if a manª lean,ª° it will goª° into his hand,ª and pierceª° it: so¹ [is] Pharaohª kingª of Egyptª unto all¹ that trustª° on¹ him." {2Kg 18:21} + "Woeª to the rebelliousª° children,ª saithª° the LORD,ª that takeª° counsel,ª but not¹ of¹ me; and that coverª° with a covering,ª but not¹ of my spirit,ª that¹ they may addª° sinª to¹ sin:ª ... For¹ his princesª were¹ at Zoan,ª and his ambassadorsª cameª° to Hanes.ª" {Isa 30:1-4} + "Woeª to them that go downª° to Egyptª for help;ª and stayª° on¹ horses,ª and trustª° in¹ chariots,ª because¹ [they are] many;ª and in¹ horsemen,ª because¹ they are very² strong;ª°¹ but they lookª° not¹ unto¹ the Holy Oneª of Israel,ª neither¹ seekª° the LORD!ª ... Now the Egyptiansª [are] men,ª and not¹ God;ª and their horsesª flesh,ª and not¹ spirit.ª When the LORDª shall stretch outª° his hand,ª both he that helpethª° shall fall,ª° and he that is holpenª° shall fall down,ª° and they all¹ shall failª° together.ª" {Isa 31:1-3} + "But he rebelledª° against him in sendingª° his ambassadorsª into Egypt,ª that they might giveª° him horsesª and muchª people.ª Shall he prosper?ª° shall he escapeª° that doethª° such¹ [things]? or shall he breakª° the covenant,ª and be delivered?ª°" {Ezk 17:15}
