Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt; whereon 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.

See, now, you are basing your hope on that broken rod of Egypt, which will go through a man's hand if he makes use of it for a support; for so is Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to all who put their faith in him.

τωρα ιδου, συ θαρρεις επι την ραβδον του συντετριμμενου εκεινου καλαμου, επι την Αιγυπτον, επι τον οποιον εαν τις επιστηριχθη, θελει εμπηχθη εις την χειρα αυτου και τρυπησει αυτην· τοιουτος ειναι Φαραω ο βασιλευς της Αιγυπτου προς παντας τους θαρρουντας επ' αυτον.

Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon 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.
