⌞Like⌟ a broken tooth and a lame foot, ⌞so⌟ is confidence in an unfaithful person in a ⌞time of⌟ crisis.
⌞Like⌟ taking off a coat on a cold day or pouring vinegar on baking soda, so is singing songs to one who has an evil heart.
Egypt’s help is completely useless. That is why I call it, ‘Rahab who sits still.’
Look! When you trust Egypt, you’re trusting a broken stick for a staff. If you lean on it, it stabs your hand and goes through it. This is what Pharaoh (the king of Egypt) is like for everyone who trusts him.
At my first hearing no one stood up in my defense. Everyone abandoned me. I pray that it won’t be held against them.
