That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 2 is found in chapter 30 of Isaiah. Judah seeks refuge in Egypt without consulting Yahweh. The alliance intended to provide security becomes a source of shame because true protection does not come from horses or military strength. The refusal to listen to the prophetic word reveals that the political problem arises from theological distrust.

die hinabziehen nach Ägypten und fragen meinen Mund nicht, daß sie sich stärken mit der Macht Pharaos und sich beschirmen unter dem Schatten Ägyptens!
Pártense para descender a Egipto, y no han preguntado mi boca; para fortificarse con la fuerza de Faraón, y poner su esperanza en la sombra de Egipto.
Qui descendent en Egypte sans me consulter, Pour se réfugier sous la protection de Pharaon, Et chercher un abri sous l'ombre de l'Egypte!
i quali si mettono in cammino, per iscendere in Egitto, senza averne domandata la mia bocca; per fortificarsi della forza di Faraone, e per ridursi in salvo all’ombra dell’Egitto!
Que descem ao Egito, sem pedirem o meu conselho; para se fortificarem com a força de Faraó, e para confiarem na sombra do Egito.
他們沒有尋求我的指示,就起身下 埃及 去, 要倚靠法老的庇護堅固自己, 並投在 埃及 的蔭下。
