Isaiah 30:1-2

Do Not Go Down to Egypt

1 “Ah, ^astubborn children,” declares the Lord,
^b“who carry out a plan, but not mine,
and who make ^can alliance, ^{▼▼Hebrew who weave a web} but not of my Spirit,
that they may add sin to sin;
2 ^ewho 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!

Isaiah 31:1

Woe to Those Who Go Down to Egypt

1 Woe to ^fthose who go down to Egypt for help
and rely on horses,
who ^gtrust in chariots because they are many
and in horsemen because they are very strong,
but ^hdo not look to the Holy One of Israel
or consult the Lord!
