Isaiah 30:1-5

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!
3 ^fTherefore 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 ^gZoan
and ^hhis envoys reach ⁱHanes,
5 everyone comes to shame
through ^ja people that cannot profit them,
that brings neither help nor profit,
but shame and disgrace.”
