1 Woe to the [a]rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me, and [b]cover with a covering, but not by my spirit, that they may lay sin upon sin:
2 Which walk forth to go down into Egypt (and have not asked at my mouth) to strengthen themselves with the strength of Pharaoh, and trust in the shadow of Egypt.
3 But the strength of Pharaoh shall be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4 For his [c]princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came unto Hanes.
5 They shall be all ashamed of the people that cannot profit them, nor help, nor do them good, but shall be a shame and also a reproach.
6 ¶ The [d]burden of the beasts of the South, in a land of trouble and anguish, from whence shall come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent against them that shall bear their riches upon the shoulders of the colts, and their treasures upon the bunches of the camels, to a people that cannot profit.
7 For the Egyptians are vanity, and they shall help in vain. Therefore have I cried unto [e]her, Their strength [f]is to sit still.
