2
Who (A)proceed down to Egypt
Without (B)consulting (a)Me,
(C)To take refuge in the safety of Pharaoh
And to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt!
3
“Therefore the safety of Pharaoh will be (D)your shame
And the shelter in the shadow of Egypt, your humiliation.
4
“For (E)their princes are at Zoan
And their ambassadors arrive at Hanes.
5
“Everyone will be (F)ashamed because of a people who cannot profit them,
Who are (G)not for help or profit, but for shame and also for reproach.”
