'Staff' in the Bible

Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:

When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:

"Look, the day! Look, it is coming! Doom has gone out! The staff has budded, pride has blossomed!

Violence has grown into a staff that supports wickedness. Not one of them will be left -- not from their crowd, not from their wealth, not from their prominence.

Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:

I will make you pass under the shepherd's staff, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.

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.
