3But looking to Pharaoh will only bring them shame.

Asking Egypt for help will bring them dishonor.

4Their officials have gone to the city of Zoan.

Their messengers have arrived in Hanes.

5But the people of Judah will be put to shame

because they are trusting in a nation that is useless to them.

Egypt will not bring them any help or advantage.

Instead, it will bring them shame and dishonor.”

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Therefore shall the protection of Pharaoh turn to your shame,

and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt to your humiliation.

For though his officials are at Zoan

and his envoys reach Hanes,

everyone comes to shame

through a people that cannot profit them,

that brings neither help nor profit,

but shame and disgrace.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)

But Pharaoh’s protection will be to your shame,

Egypt’s shade will bring you disgrace.

Though they have officials in Zoan

and their envoys have arrived in Hanes,

everyone will be put to shame

because of a people useless to them,

who bring neither help nor advantage,

but only shame and disgrace.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

But Pharaoh’s protection will become your shame,

and refuge in Egypt’s shadow your humiliation.

For though his princes are at Zoan

and his messengers reach as far as Hanes,

everyone will be ashamed

because of a people who can’t help.

They are of no benefit, they are no help;

they are good for nothing but shame and disgrace.

NLTNew Living Translation

But by trusting Pharaoh, you will be humiliated,

and by depending on him, you will be disgraced.

For though his power extends to Zoan

and his officials have arrived in Hanes,

all who trust in him will be ashamed.

He will not help you.

Instead, he will disgrace you.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And the protection of Pharaoh shall be shame to you,

and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt, humiliation.

For his officials are at Zoan,

and his envoys reach to Hanes.

Everyone will start to stink because of a people that cannot profit them,

not for help and not for profiting,

but for shame and also for disgrace.”

KJV 1900King James Version

Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame,

And the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

For his princes were at Zoan,

And his ambassadors came to Hanes.

They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them,

Nor be an help nor profit,

But a shame, and also a reproach.
