Sesungguhnya, engkau berharap kepada tongkat bambu yang patah terkulai itu, yaitu Mesir, yang akan menusuk dan menembus tangan orang yang bertopang kepadanya. Begitulah keadaan Firaun, raja Mesir, bagi semua orang yang berharap kepadanya.
Bahwasanya engkau percaya akan tongkat buluh yang patah, yaitu akan Mesir, yang melukakan tangan barangsiapa yang bertekan kepadanya, lalu menerusi dia; demikianlah Firaun, raja Mesir, kepada segala orang yang harap kepadanya.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This bruised reed - The “tall reed of the Nile bulrush” fitly symbolized the land where it grew. Apparently strong and firm, it was quite unworthy of trust. Let a man lean upon it, and the rotten support instantly gave way, wounding the hand that stayed itself so insecurely. So it was with Egypt throughout the whole period of Jewish history (compare 2 Kings 17:4-6). Her actual practice was to pretend friendship, to hold out hopes of support, and then to fail in time of need.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 18:21. The staff of this bruised reed — Egypt had already been greatly bruised and broken, through the wars carried on against it by the Assyrians.
