Warning against Alliance with Egypt

30 “Oh rebellious children!” declares[a] Yahweh,

“to make a plan, but[b] not from me,
    and pour out a libation, but[c] not from my Spirit,
    so as to add[d] sin to sin.
Who go to go down to Egypt,
    but[e] they do not ask of my mouth,
to take refuge in the protection of Pharaoh
    and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt.
