1 “Oy , the rebellious children” —it is a declaration of Adonai— “Who carry out a plan, but not Mine, and make an alliance, but not of My Ruach, so they may add sin to sin,
2 who go down to Egypt, but did not consult Me, to take refuge in Pharaoh’s stronghold, to seek shelter in Egypt’s shadow.
3 Therefore Pharaoh’s stronghold will become your shame, and the shelter in Egypt’s shadow will become your disgrace.
4 For though their princes are at Zoan and their ambassadors reach Hanes,
5 they will all be ashamed of a people who cannot profit them. They are neither help nor profit, but shame and disgrace.”
