Isaiah 30:2-5 ▼

2 They set out to go down to Egypt, without asking my advice; taking refuge in Pharaoh's protection, and seeking shelter in Egypt's shadow.

3 But Pharaoh's protection will become your shame, and sheltering in Egypt's shadow your longing.

4 And it will turn out that his officials are at Zoan, and his envoys will reach Hanes.

5 There is only loathsome destruction through a people that cannot benefit them, who bring neither help nor profit, but only shame and disgrace.|
