Isaiah 20:5-6

5 ^dThen they shall be dismayed and ashamed because of Cush their hope and of Egypt their boast. 6 And the inhabitants of ^ethis coastland will say in that day, ‘Behold, this is what has happened to those in whom we hoped and ^fto whom we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria! And we, how shall we escape?’”

Isaiah 30:1-7

Do Not Go Down to Egypt

1 “Ah, ^gstubborn children,” declares the Lord,
^h“who carry out a plan, but not mine,
and who make ⁱan alliance, ^{▼▼Hebrew who weave a web} but not of my Spirit,
that they may add sin to sin;
2 ^kwho 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 ^lTherefore 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 ^mZoan
and ⁿhis envoys reach ^oHanes,
5 everyone comes to shame
through ^pa people that cannot profit them,
that brings neither help nor profit,
but shame and disgrace.”
6 An ^qoracle on ^rthe beasts of ^sthe Negeb.

Through a land of trouble and anguish,
from where come the lioness and the lion,
the adder and the ^tflying 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.
7 Egypt’s ^uhelp is worthless and empty;
therefore I have called her
^v“Rahab who sits still.”

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.

Jeremiah 2:36-37

36 ^aeHow much you go about,
changing your way!
You shall be ^afput to shame by Egypt
as you were put to shame by Assyria.
37 From it too you will come away
with ^agyour hands on your head,
for the Lord has rejected those in whom you trust,
and you will not prosper by them.

Jeremiah 30:13-15

13 There is none to uphold your cause,
no medicine for your wound,
^ahno healing for you.
14 ^aiAll your lovers have forgotten you;
they care nothing for you;
for I have dealt you the blow of ^ajan enemy,
the punishment ^akof a merciless foe,
because your guilt is great,
^albecause your sins are flagrant.
15 ^amWhy do you cry out over your hurt?
^anYour pain is incurable.
Because your guilt is great,
^aobecause your sins are flagrant,
I have done these things to you.
