⁶ Then all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know
    that I am the Lord,
because you^[a] were a staff of reed
    to the house of Israel;^(A)

² who set out to go down to Egypt
    without asking for my counsel,
to take refuge in the protection of Pharaoh
    and to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt.^(A)

³ Therefore the protection of Pharaoh shall become your shame,
    and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt your humiliation.^(A)
