Isaiah 30:3

3 et erit vobis fortitudo Pharaonis in confusionem et fiducia umbrae Aegypti in ignominiam

Isaiah 30:3 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 30:3

Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame
They should be disappointed of the help and assistance they expected from him, and so be ashamed of their ally, and of confidence in him: and the trust in the shadow of Egypt [your] confusion;
they should be confounded, when they should find themselves unsupported by the Egyptians, in whom they put their confidence; so all such that trust in the creature, or in an arm of flesh, sooner or later are ashamed and confounded; but those that trust in the Lord never are, neither in this world, nor in that to come.

Isaiah 30:3 In-Context

1 vae filii desertores dicit Dominus ut faceretis consilium et non ex me et ordiremini telam et non per spiritum meum ut adderetur peccatum super peccatum

2 qui ambulatis ut descendatis in Aegyptum et os meum non interrogastis sperantes auxilium in fortitudine Pharao et habentes fiduciam in umbra Aegypti

3 et erit vobis fortitudo Pharaonis in confusionem et fiducia umbrae Aegypti in ignominiam

4 erant enim in Tanis principes tui et nuntii tui usque ad Anes pervenerunt

5 omnes confusi sunt super populo qui eis prodesse non potuit non fuerunt in auxilium et in aliquam utilitatem sed in confusionem et obprobrium
