Isaiah 30:2-5 ▼

2 They set out to go down to Egypt without asking My advice, to seek shelter under Pharaoh’s protection and take refuge in Egypt’s shade.

3 But Pharaoh’s protection will become your shame, and the refuge of Egypt’s shade your disgrace.

4 For though their princes are at Zoan and their envoys have arrived in Hanes,

5 everyone will be put to shame because of a people useless to them. They bring neither help nor benefit, but only shame and disgrace.”
