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)

the helper will stumble
and the one who is helped will fall;
