Isaiah 30:4

Warning Against Alliance With Egypt

³ But Pharaoh’s protection will become your shame,
and refuge in Egypt’s shadow your disgrace.
⁴ For though his princes are at Zoan
and his messengers reach as far as Hanes,
⁵ everyone will be ashamed
because of a people who can’t help.
They are of no benefit, they are no help;
they are good for nothing but shame and reproach.
