Isaiah 30:1-5 - Warning Against Alliance With Egypt
1 Suffer you unwilling children, says Jehovah. You pursue a purpose that is not mine. You make a covenant sacrifice without my Spirit. You add sin to sin. 2 You go to Egypt for help without asking for my advice. You want Egypt to protect you. You put your trust in Egypt's military might. 3 The safety of Pharaoh will be your shame and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt, your humiliation. 4 Their princes are at Zoan and their ambassadors arrive at Hanes. 5 Everyone will be ashamed because of a people who cannot help them. They cannot help. They can only offer shame and reproach.
