Isaiah 30:1-3

International Standard Version

30 “Oh, you stubborn children,” declares the Lord,
“who carry out plans—
    but they are not mine,
and who make alliances—
    but not by my Spirit,
        piling sin upon sin.
² They set out to go down to Egypt,
    without asking my advice;
taking refuge in Pharaoh’s protection,
    and seeking shelter in Egypt’s shadow.
³ But Pharaoh’s protection will become your shame,
    and sheltering in Egypt’s shadow your longing.^[a]
