Isaiah 5:12

the work of his hands they do not see!(B)
Isaiah 5:24
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
24 Therefore, as the tongue of fire licks up stubble,
as dry grass shrivels in the flame,
Their root shall rot
and their blossom scatter like dust;
For they have rejected the instruction of the Lord of hosts,
and scorned the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah 18:2
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 Sending ambassadors by sea,
in papyrus boats on the waters!
Go, swift messengers,
to a nation tall and bronzed,
To a people dreaded near and far,
a nation strong and conquering,
whose land is washed by rivers.(A)
Isaiah 22:11

2 They go down to Egypt,
without asking my counsel,[a]
To seek strength in Pharaoh’s protection
and take refuge in Egypt’s shadow.(A)
Footnotes
- 30:2 Without asking my counsel: it was a practice to consult God through the prophets or through the priestly oracle before making a major political decision (1 Sm 23:1–12; 1 Kgs 22:5), but Judah’s leadership, in its concern for security, was apparently trying to keep its plan for a treaty with Egypt secret even from the prophets, thus implicitly from God (29:15).
Isaiah 36:6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 Do you trust in Egypt, that broken reed of a staff which pierces the hand of anyone who leans on it? That is what Pharaoh, king of Egypt, is to all who trust in him.(A)
