Futile Confidence in Egypt
1 “Woe to the rebellious children,” says the Lord,
a“Who take counsel, but not of Me,
And who1 devise plans, but not of My Spirit,
bThat they may add sin to sin;
a“Who take counsel, but not of Me,
And who1 devise plans, but not of My Spirit,
bThat they may add sin to sin;
2 aWho walk to go down to Egypt,
And bhave not asked My advice,
To strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh,
And to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
And bhave not asked My advice,
To strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh,
And to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 aTherefore the strength of Pharaoh
Shall be your shame,
And trust in the shadow of Egypt
Shall be your humiliation.
Shall be your shame,
And trust in the shadow of Egypt
Shall be your humiliation.
5 aThey were all ashamed of a people who could not benefit them,
Or be help or benefit,
But a shame and also a reproach.”
Or be help or benefit,
But a shame and also a reproach.”
6 aThe1 burden against the beasts of the South.
Through a land of trouble and anguish,
From which came the lioness and lion,
bThe viper and fiery flying serpent,
They will carry their riches on the backs of young donkeys,
And their treasures on the humps of camels,
To a people who shall not profit;
Through a land of trouble and anguish,
From which came the lioness and lion,
bThe viper and fiery flying serpent,
They will carry their riches on the backs of young donkeys,
And their treasures on the humps of camels,
To a people who shall not profit;
7 aFor the Egyptians shall help in vain and to no purpose.
Therefore I have called her
Rahab-Hem-Shebeth.
Therefore I have called her
Rahab-Hem-Shebeth.
A Rebellious People
8 Now go, awrite it before them on a tablet,
And note it on a scroll,
That it may be for time to come,
Forever and ever:
And note it on a scroll,
That it may be for time to come,
Forever and ever:
