Isaiah 30:1-3

The Voice

30 Eternal One: Oh, it will be so bad for you, My rebellious children,
        who enact a plan but not as I would have you do,
    Who form an alliance contrary to My Spirit,
        compounding sin, one bad choice after another.
²     You look to Egypt for security and help without consulting Me.
        You seem to think that Pharaoh is the answer,
    That Egypt will protect you from harm.
³     But because you cling to the earthly power of great nations,
        you will be disappointed and ashamed
    In the very thing you grasped—Pharaoh and Egypt.
