Isaiah 30:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

Do not trust in Egypt's power

30 The Lord says, ‘It will be very bad for you, my children who have turned against me. You have decided what to do, but you did not ask me about it. You have made an agreement with Egypt, but without my Spirit's help. In that way, you continue to do more and more sins.

² Your leaders travel to Egypt to ask for Pharaoh's help to keep them safe. But they did not ask me what I think about it. They think that Egypt has the power to protect them. ³ But Pharaoh's help will only make you ashamed. If you trust in Egypt's power, that will bring you down low.
