# Egypt, this walking stick of crushed reed
The speaker compares Egypt to a weak walking stick; you expect that it will support you when you lean on it, but instead it breaks and cuts you. Alternate translation: "Egypt, which is like a walking stick made from a crushed reed" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
# if a man leans ... and pierce it
The speaker is extending the metaphor by describing what happens when a reed is used as a support. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
