Judah Warned against Egyptian Alliance

1
“Woe to the (A)rebellious children,” declares the Lord,
“Who (B)execute a plan, but not Mine,
And (a)(C)make an alliance, but not of My Spirit,
In order to add sin to sin;
2
Who (D)proceed down to Egypt
Without (E)consulting (b)Me,
(F)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 (G)your shame
And the shelter in the shadow of Egypt, your humiliation.
