Woe to the Obstinate Nation

1 "Woe¹ to the obstinate children,"² declares the LORD, "to those who carry out plans that are not mine, forming an alliance,³ but not by my Spirit, heaping sin upon sin; 2 who go down to Egypt⁴ without consulting⁵ me; who look for help to Pharaoh's protection,⁶ to Egypt's shade for refuge.⁷ 3 But Pharaoh's protection will be to your shame, Egypt's shade⁸ will bring you disgrace.⁹ 4 Though they have officials in Zoan¹⁰ and their envoys have arrived in Hanes, 5 everyone will be put to shame because of a people¹¹ useless¹² to them, who bring neither help¹³ nor advantage, but only shame and disgrace.¹⁴"
