2 Kings 16:7-11

7 ^aSo Ahaz sent messengers to ^bTiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. Come up and rescue me from the hand of the king of Syria and from the hand of the king of Israel, who are attacking me.” 8 Ahaz also ^ctook the silver and gold that was found in the house of the Lord and in the treasures of the king’s house and sent a present to the king of Assyria. 9 ^dAnd the king of Assyria listened to him. The king of Assyria marched up against Damascus ^eand took it, carrying its people captive to ^fKir, and he killed Rezin.

10 When King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet ^gTiglath-pileser king of Assyria, he saw the altar that was at Damascus. And King Ahaz sent to ^hUriah the priest a model of the altar, and its pattern, exact in all its details. 11 And Uriah the priest built the altar; in accordance with all that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so Uriah the priest made it, before King Ahaz arrived from Damascus.

Isaiah 30:1-6

Do Not Go Down to Egypt

1 “Ah, ⁱstubborn children,” declares the Lord,
^j“who carry out a plan, but not mine,
and who make ^kan alliance, ^{▼▼Hebrew who weave a web} but not of my Spirit,
that they may add sin to sin;
2 ^mwho set out to go down to Egypt,
without asking for my direction,
to take refuge in the protection of Pharaoh
and to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt!
3 ⁿTherefore shall the protection of Pharaoh turn to your shame,
and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt to your humiliation.
4 For though his officials are at ^oZoan
and ^phis envoys reach ^qHanes,
5 everyone comes to shame
through ^ra people that cannot profit them,
that brings neither help nor profit,
but shame and disgrace.”
6 An ^soracle on ^tthe beasts of ^uthe Negeb.

Through a land of trouble and anguish,
from where come the lioness and the lion,
the adder and the ^vflying fiery serpent,
they carry their riches on the backs of donkeys,
and their treasures on the humps of camels,
to a people that cannot profit them.

Isaiah 31:1-3

Woe to Those Who Go Down to Egypt

1 Woe to ^wthose who go down to Egypt for help
and rely on horses,
who ^xtrust in chariots because they are many
and in horsemen because they are very strong,
but ^ydo not look to the Holy One of Israel
or consult the Lord!
2 And ^zyet he is wise and brings disaster;
^aahe does not call back his words,
but ^abwill arise against the house of the evildoers
and against the helpers of ^acthose who work iniquity.
3 The Egyptians are man, and not God,
and their horses ^adare flesh, and not spirit.
When the Lord stretches out his hand,
the helper will stumble, and he who is helped will fall,
and they will all perish together.

Ezekiel 16:33

33 Men give gifts to all prostitutes, ^aebut you gave your gifts to all your lovers, bribing them to come to you from every side with your whorings.

Ezekiel 23:16

16 When she saw them, she lusted after them and ^afsent messengers to them ^agin Chaldea.

Hosea 7:11

11 Ephraim is like a dove,
^ahsilly and without sense,
calling to ^aiEgypt, going to ^ajAssyria.

Hosea 12:1

1 Ephraim feeds on the wind
and pursues ^akthe east wind all day long;
they multiply ^alfalsehood and violence;
^amthey make a covenant with Assyria,
and ^anoil is carried to Egypt.
