Isaiah 30:1-3

Good News Translation

A Useless Treaty with Egypt

30 The Lord has spoken: “Those who rule Judah are doomed because they rebel against me. They follow plans that I did not make, and sign treaties against my will, piling one sin on another. ² They go to Egypt for help without asking for my advice. They want Egypt to protect them, so they put their trust in Egypt's king. ³ But the king will be powerless to help them, and Egypt's protection will end in disaster.
