Isaiah 30:1-5 ▼

1 “Woe to the rebellious children,” declares Yahweh, “Who execute counsel, but not Mine, And make an alliance, but not of My Spirit, In order to add sin to sin,

2 Who go down to Egypt— But did not ask Me— To find strength in the strong defense of Pharaoh And to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!

3 Therefore the strong defense of Pharaoh will be your shame And the refuge in the shadow of Egypt, your dishonor.

4 For their princes are at Zoan And their messengers reach Hanes.

5 Everyone will be ashamed because of a people who cannot profit them, Who are not for help or profit, but for shame and also for reproach.”
