Isaiah 30:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ But ·hiding in Egypt [^Lthe protection of Pharaoh] will bring you only shame;
    Egypt’s ·protection [^Lshade] will only disappoint you.
⁴ Your officers have gone to Zoan [^Cin northern Egypt; 19:11],
    and your messengers have gone to Hanes [^Cin southern Egypt],
⁵ but they will be put to shame,
    because Egypt is useless to them.
It will give no help and will be of no ·use [benefit; advantage];
    it will cause them only shame and ·embarrassment [disgrace].”
