Isaiah 30:1-3
New King James Version
Futile Confidence in Egypt
30 “Woe to the rebellious children,” says the Lord,
(A)“Who take counsel, but not of Me,
And who [a]devise plans, but not of My Spirit,
(B)That they may add sin to sin;
2 (C)Who walk to go down to Egypt,
And (D)have not asked My advice,
To strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh,
And to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 (E)Therefore the strength of Pharaoh
Shall be your shame,
And trust in the shadow of Egypt
Shall be your humiliation.

12 And say:
“How I have hated instruction,
And my heart despised correction!

In the midst of the assembly and congregation.”

And the sentence by the word of the holy ones,
In order (A)that the living may know

(C)Gives it to whomever He will,
And sets over it the (D)lowest of men.’
