Judah Warned against Egyptian Alliance

“Who carry out a plan, but not Mine,
And make an alliance [by pouring out a libation], but not of My Spirit,
In order to add sin to sin;

Who proceed down to Egypt

“Therefore the safety and protection of Pharaoh will be your shame
And the refuge in the shadow of Egypt, your humiliation and disgrace.

    heaping sin upon sin;

who look for help to Pharaoh’s protection,(F)

But Pharaoh’s protection will be to your shame,
    Egypt’s shade(H) will bring you disgrace.(I)
