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

1 Woe to apostate sons, The affirmation of Jehovah! To do counsel, and not from Me, And to spread out a covering, and not of My spirit, So as to add sin to sin. 2 Who are walking to go down to Egypt, And My mouth have not asked, To be strong in the strength of Pharaoh, And to trust in the shadow of Egypt. 3 And the strength of Pharaoh Hath been to you for shame, And the trust in the shadow of Egypt confusion, 4 For in Zoan were his princes, And his messengers reach Hanes. 5 All he made ashamed of a people that profit not, Neither for help, not for profit, But for shame, and also for reproach!
