'Relying' in the Bible

The Lord said to Moses, “How long will these people treat me disrespectfully and reject Me? And how long will they not believe in Me, despite all the [miraculous] signs which I have performed among them?

Then the Rabshakeh said to them, “Tell Hezekiah this is what the great king, the king of Assyria, says: ‘What are you relying on?

You think mere words are strategy and strength for war. What are you now relying on so that you have rebelled against me?

""Now who are you relying on, that you have rebelled against me? Look, you're trusting on Egypt to lean on like a staff, but it's a crushed reed, and if you lean on it, it will collapse and pierce your hand. Pharaoh, king of Egypt, is just like that to everyone who relies on him!

"Thus says Sennacherib the king of Assyria: 'On what [are] you relying that [you are] dwelling in siege works in Jerusalem?

But now, O Lord, upon what am I relying? You are my only hope!

Then Israel believed in [the validity of] His words;They sang His praise.

Then they despised the pleasant land [of Canaan];They did not believe in His word nor rely on it,

Take note: you're relying on Egypt, that splintered reed of a staff, which pierces the palm of anyone who leans on it. This is what Pharaoh king of Egypt is like to everybody who depends on him!

Look, you [are] relying for yourselves on {deceitful words} without benefiting.
