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.

2 Chronicles 28 20-2 Chronicles 28 21
And Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not.For Ahaz took away a portion[ out] of the house of the LORD, and[ out] of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave[ it] unto the king of Assyria: but he helped him not.

Job 6:14-20
To him that is afflicted pity[ should be shewed] from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook,[ and] as the stream of brooks they pass away;Which are blackish by reason of the ice,[ and] wherein the snow is hid:What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.

Ezekiel 29:6-7
And 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 thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand.

Isaiah 30:1-3
Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt[ your] confusion.

2 Timothy 4 16
At my first answer no man stood with me, but all[ men] forsook me:[ I pray God] that it may not be laid to their charge.
