TSK · Proverbs 25:19

King Tiglath-pileser of Assyria came, but he gave him more trouble than support.

Disappointing Friends“To the one in despair, kindness should come from his friend even if he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.

They were distressed, because each one had been so confident; they arrived there, but were disappointed.

But Pharaoh’s protection will bring you nothing but shame, and the safety of Egypt’s protective shade nothing but humiliation.

Look, you must be trusting in Egypt, that splintered reed staff. If someone leans on it for support, it punctures his hand and wounds him. That is what Pharaoh king of Egypt does to all who trust in him!

At my first defense no one appeared in my support; instead they all deserted me– may they not be held accountable for it.
