And Jehovah will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed in one day.

They cast away the rivers; the rivers of Egypt languished and dried up; the reed and the sedge pined away.

And there shall not be to Egypt a work which shall make head and tail, branch and reed.

A broken reed he shall not break, and bedimmed flax shall he not quench it: he shall bring forth judgment to truth.

And the dry was for a pool, and the thirsty land for fountains of water: in the dwelling of jackals its lying down, an enclosure for the reed and the bulrush

Behold, thou trustedst upon the staff of this broken reed, upon Egypt; which, shall a man rest upon it, it was into his hand and pierced it: thus Pharaoh king of Egypt to all trusting upon him.

Who measured the water in his palm, and measured the heavens with a span, and held the dust of the earth in a third, and weighed the mountains in a balance and the bills in scales?
