1 “What sorrow awaits my rebellious children,”says the lord.“You make plans that are contrary to mine.You make alliances not directed by my Spirit,thus piling up your sins.
2 For without consulting me,you have gone down to Egypt for help.You have put your trust in Pharaoh’s protection.You have tried to hide in his shade.
3 But by trusting Pharaoh, you will be humiliated,and by depending on him, you will be disgraced.
4 For though his power extends to Zoanand his officials have arrived in Hanes,
5 all who trust in him will be ashamed.He will not help you.Instead, he will disgrace you.”
