Isaiah 36:6
Look! You are trusting in the staff of this broken reed, Egypt, on which if a man leans, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.

2 Chronicles 28 20-2 Chronicles 28 21
Also Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria came to him and distressed him, and did not assist him.For Ahaz took part of the treasures from the house of the Lord, from the house of the king, and from the leaders, and he gave it to the king of Assyria; but he did not help him.

Job 6:14-20
“ To him who is afflicted, kindness should be shown by his friend, Even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.My brothers have dealt deceitfully like a brook, Like the streams of the brooks that pass away,Which are dark because of the ice, And into which the snow vanishes.When it is warm, they cease to flow; When it is hot, they vanish from their place.The paths of their way turn aside, They go nowhere and perish.The caravans of Tema look, The travelers of Sheba hope for them.They are disappointed because they were confident; They come there and are confused.

Ezekiel 29:6-7
“ Then all the inhabitants of Egypt Shall know that I am the Lord, Because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.When they took hold of you with the hand, You broke and tore all their shoulders; When they leaned on you, You broke and made all their backs quiver.”

Isaiah 30:1-3
“ Woe to the rebellious children,” says the Lord,“ Who take counsel, but not of Me, And who devise plans, but not of My Spirit, That they may add sin to sin;Who walk to go down to Egypt, And have not asked My advice, To strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, And to trust in the shadow of Egypt!Therefore the strength of Pharaoh Shall be your shame, And trust in the shadow of Egypt Shall be your humiliation.
