Isaiah 30:1-5 - Warning Against Alliance With Egypt
1 Wo to sons turning aside, says Jehovah, to make counsel and not from me; and to cover a covering, and not my spirit so as to add sin upon sin: 2 Going to come down to Egypt, and my mouth they asked not; to be strengthened by the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt 3 And the strength of Pharaoh was to you for shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt for reproach. 4 For his chiefs were in Zoan, and his messengers will reach to Hanes. 5 All acted wickedly for a people who will not profit them, not for help and not for profiting, but for shame and also for a reproach.
