Isaiah 30:1-5 - Warning Against Alliance With Egypt
1
This is the Lord’s declaration.
They carry out a plan,
they make an alliance,
but against My will,
piling sin on top of sin.
without asking My advice,
in order to seek shelter under Pharaoh’s protection
and take refuge in Egypt’s shadow.
and refuge in Egypt’s shadow your disgrace.
and his messengers reach as far as Hanes,
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.
