Isaiah 30:1-5 - Warning Against Alliance With Egypt

1 "Oh rebellious children!" {declares} Yahweh, "to make a plan, but not from me, and pour out a libation, but not [from] my Spirit, {so as to add} sin to sin. 2 Who go to go down [to] Egypt, but they do not ask [of] my mouth, to take refuge in the protection of Pharaoh and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt. 3 And the protection of Pharaoh shall be shame to you, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt, humiliation. 4 For his officials are at Zoan, and his envoys reach to Hanes. 5 Everyone will start to stink because of a people [that] cannot profit them, not for help and not for profiting, but for shame and also for disgrace."
