OET (OET-RV) Listen, your king’s trusting in a broken stick to lean on which will just splinter and pierce his hand. That’s what King Far-oh of Egypt is like to everyone who puts their trust in him.

If you have decided to translate all of this long quotation in such a way that there will not be quotations within quotations, you can continue doing that in this verse. Alternate translation: [The great king says that behold, Hezekiah is trusting in Egypt to help him, but that is like using a broken reed as a staff. If a man leans on it, it goes into his palm and pierces it. That is what Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, is like for anyone who trusts in him]

See how you translated the similar expression in [1:9](../01/09.md).

The king of Assyria is speaking as if Egypt were actually a broken reed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [you believe that you can rely on Egypt, but that is like using a broken reed as a staff]

The king of Assyria is using the possessive form to describe a staff that consists of a broken reed. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [in this broken reed, Egypt, as a staff]
OET (OET-LV) Now HERE you_rely (for)_yourself on the_staff_of (the)_reed (the)_crushed the_this on Miʦrayim/(Egypt) which he_will_support_himself anyone on/upon/above_him/it and_it_will_go in_palm_of_his and_it_will_pierce_it is_thus Parˊoh the_king_of Miʦrayim to/from_all/each/any/every those_who_rely on/upon/above_him/it.
OET (OET-RV) Listen, your king’s trusting in a broken stick to lean on which will just splinter and pierce his hand. That’s what King Far-oh of Egypt is like to everyone who puts their trust in him.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
