Isaiah 30:2-5
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 They set out to go down to Egypt(A)
without asking My advice,
in order to seek shelter under Pharaoh’s protection
and take refuge in Egypt’s shadow.(B)
3 But Pharaoh’s protection will become your shame,
and refuge in Egypt’s shadow your disgrace.(C)
4 For though his[a] princes are at Zoan(D)
and his messengers reach as far as Hanes,
5 everyone will be ashamed
because of a people who can’t help.
They are of no benefit, they are no help;
they are good for nothing but shame and reproach.(E)

3 But Pharaoh’s protection will be to your shame,
Egypt’s shade(E) will bring you disgrace.(F)
4 Though they have officials in Zoan(G)
and their envoys have arrived in Hanes,
5 everyone will be put to shame
because of a people(H) useless(I) to them,
who bring neither help(J) nor advantage,
but only shame and disgrace.(K)”

their horses are flesh, not spirit.
When the Lord raises His hand to strike,
the helper will stumble
and the one who is helped will fall;
