Isaiah 30:1-3

Do Not Go Down to Egypt

1 “Ah, ^bstubborn children,” declares the Lord,
^c“who carry out a plan, but not mine,
and who make ^dan alliance, ^{▼▼Hebrew who weave a web} but not of my Spirit,
that they may add sin to sin;
2 ^fwho 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 ^gTherefore shall the protection of Pharaoh turn to your shame,
and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt to your humiliation.

Isaiah 31:1

Woe to Those Who Go Down to Egypt

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

Jeremiah 17:5-6

5 Thus says the Lord:
“Cursed is the man ^kwho trusts in man
and makes flesh his strength, ^{▼▼Hebrew arm}
whose heart turns away from the Lord.
6 ^mHe is like a shrub in the desert,
ⁿand shall not see any good come.
He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness,
in ^oan uninhabited salt land.
