Isaiah 30:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
30 1 He reproveth the Jews, which in their adversity used their own counsels, 2 and sought help of the Egyptians, 10 despising the Prophets. 16 Therefore he showeth what destruction shall come upon them, 18 but offereth mercy to the repentant.
1 Woe to the [a]rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me, and [b]cover with a covering, but not by my spirit, that they may lay sin upon sin:
2 Which walk forth to go down into Egypt (and have not asked at my mouth) to strengthen themselves with the strength of Pharaoh, and trust in the shadow of Egypt.
3 But the strength of Pharaoh shall be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
