3 Therefore the strong defense of Pharaoh will be (A)your shame
And the refuge in the shadow of Egypt, your dishonor.
4 For (B)their princes are at Zoan
And their messengers reach Hanes.
5 Everyone will be (C)ashamed because of a people who cannot profit them,
Who are (D)not for help or profit, but for shame and also for reproach.”
Isaiah 30:3-5
New International Version
3 But Pharaoh’s protection will be to your shame,
Egypt’s shade(A) will bring you disgrace.(B)
4 Though they have officials in Zoan(C)
and their envoys have arrived in Hanes,
5 everyone will be put to shame
because of a people(D) useless(E) to them,
who bring neither help(F) nor advantage,
but only shame and disgrace.(G)”

Woe to Those Who Go down to Egypt
31 Woe to those who go down to (A)Egypt for help
And (B)rely on horses,
And trust in chariots because they are many
And in horsemen because they are very mighty,
But they do not (C)regard at the (D)Holy One of Israel, nor seek Yahweh!

6 Then all the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am Yahweh
Because they have been only a (A)staff made of reed to the house of Israel.

You (B)tore and split open all their [a]shoulders;
And when they leaned on you,
You broke and made all their loins [b]quake.”
