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 30:9

9 fFor they are a rebellious people,
lying children,
children unwilling to hear
the instruction of the Lord;

Isaiah 30:15-16

15 For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel,
“In greturning
Or repentance
and irest you shall be saved;
in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.”
But you were unwilling,
16and you said,
No! We will flee upon jhorses”;
therefore you shall flee away;
and, “We will ride upon swift steeds”;
therefore your pursuers shall be swift.
