1 Ah! Rebellious children, oracle of the LORD, Who carry out a plan that is not mine, who make an alliance I did not inspire, thus adding sin upon sin; 2 They go down to Egypt, without asking my counsel, To seek strength in Pharaoh’s protection and take refuge in Egypt’s shadow. 3 Pharaoh’s protection shall become your shame, refuge in Egypt’s shadow your disgrace. 4 When his princes are at Zoan and his messengers reach Hanes, 5 All shall be ashamed of a people that gain them nothing, Neither help nor benefit, but only shame and reproach.
