On Egypt? If you lean on Egypt, it will be like a reed that splinters beneath your weight and pierces your hand. Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, is completely unreliable!

Job 6:14-20
“ One should be kind to a fainting friend, but you accuse me without any fear of the Almighty.My brothers, you have proved as unreliable as a seasonal brook that overflows its banks in the springwhen it is swollen with ice and melting snow.But when the hot weather arrives, the water disappears. The brook vanishes in the heat.The caravans turn aside to be refreshed, but there is nothing to drink, so they die.The caravans from Tema search for this water; the travelers from Sheba hope to find it.They count on it but are disappointed. When they arrive, their hopes are dashed.

Ezekiel 29:6-7
All the people of Egypt will know that I am the Lord, for to Israel you were just a staff made of reeds.When Israel leaned on you, you splintered and broke and stabbed her in the armpit. When she put her weight on you, you collapsed, and her legs gave way.

Isaiah 30:1-3
“ What sorrow awaits my rebellious children,” says the Lord.“ You make plans that are contrary to mine. You make alliances not directed by my Spirit, thus piling up your sins.For without consulting me, you have gone down to Egypt for help. You have put your trust in Pharaoh’s protection. You have tried to hide in his shade.But by trusting Pharaoh, you will be humiliated, and by depending on him, you will be disgraced.
