OET (OET-RV) Listen, if it’s Egypt (Heb. Mitsrayim), that’s like trusting a staff made from a splintered reed. If a man were to lean on it, it would pierce his palm—that’s what relying on Egypt’s King Far-oh is like for those who put their trust in him.

OET-LV HERE you _rely 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.

ULT Behold, you trust in the staff of this broken reed, in Egypt, on which a man leans and it goes into his palm and pierces it. Thus, is Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, to all of the ones trusting in him.” ’

UST In fact, you are relying on the army of Egypt to help you. But you must realize that that is like using a broken reed as a staff for support. The pointed end of such a staff would make a hole in the hand of anyone who tried to use it! That is what Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, is like. He hurts anyone who relies on him for help.”

BSB & MSB Look now, you are trusting in Egypt, that splintered reed of a staff that will pierce the hand of anyone who leans on it. Such is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.
