Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.

The verse 6 is found in chapter 36 of Isaiah. The Assyrian invasion reaches Jerusalem, and the Rabshakeh attempts to destroy the people’s confidence through propaganda. His speech portrays Yahweh as unable to save, confusing the defeat of other nations with the defeat of Israel’s God. Hezekiah tears his clothes and seeks the prophetic word, showing a different response based on dependence upon God.

Verläßt du dich auf den zerbrochenen Rohrstab Ägypten, welcher, so jemand sich darauf lehnt, geht er ihm in die Hand und durchbohrt sie? Also tut Pharao, der König von Ägypten, allen, die sich auf ihn verlassen.
He aquí que confías en este bordón de caña frágil, en Egipto, sobre el cual si alguien se apoyare, entrarásele por la mano, y se la atravesará. Tal es Faraón rey de Egipto para con todos los que en él confían.
Mira, confías en el apoyo de esta caña quebrada, en Egipto; si alguien se apoya en ella, se le clavará en la mano y se la atravesará. Así es el faraón, rey de Egipto, para todos los que confían en él.
Voici, tu l'as placée dans l'Egypte, tu as pris pour soutien ce roseau cassé, qui pénètre et perce la main de quiconque s'appuie dessus: tel est Pharaon, roi d'Egypte, pour tous ceux qui se confient en lui.
Ecco, tu ti sei confidato in quel sostegno di canna rotta, sopra il quale se alcuno si appoggia, esso gli entra nella mano, e la fora; tale è Faraone, re di Egitto, a tutti coloro che si confidano in lui.
Eis que confias no Egito, aquele bordão de cana quebrada, o qual, se alguém se apoiar nele lhe entrará pela mão, e a furará; assim é Faraó, rei do Egito, para com todos os que nele confiam.
看哪,你所倚靠的 埃及 是那斷裂的葦杖,人若倚靠這杖,它就刺進他的手,穿透它。 埃及 王法老向所有倚靠他的人都是這樣。
