1. ‘Woe to the obstinate children,’declares the Lord,‘to those who carry out plans that are not mine,forming an alliance, but not by my Spirit,heaping sin upon sin;
2. who go down to Egyptwithout consulting me;who look for help to Pharaoh’s protection,to Egypt’s shade for refuge.
3. But Pharaoh’s protection will be to your shame,Egypt’s shade will bring you disgrace.
