Brenton(i)
1 Woe to the apostate children, saith the Lord: ye have framed counsel, not by me, and covenants not by my Spirit, to add sins to sins:
2 even they that proceed to go down into Egypt, but they have not enquired of me, that they might be helped by Pharao, and protected by the Egyptians.
3 For the protection of Pharaoh shall be to you a disgrace, and there shall be a reproach to them that trust in Egypt.
4 For there are princes in Tanes, evil messengers.
5 In vain shall they labour in seeking to a people, which shall not profit them for help, but shall be for a shame and reproach.
6 THE VISION OF THE QUADRUPEDS IN THE DESERT. In affliction and distress, where are the lion and lion's whelp, thence come also asps, and the young of flying asps, there shall they be who bore their wealth on asses and camels to a nation which shall not profit them.
7 The Egyptians shall help you utterly in vain: tell them, This your consolation is vain.
