30 “Woe to the rebellious children,” says the Lord,
a“Who take counsel, but not of Me,
And who 1devise plans, but not of My Spirit,
bThat they may add sin to sin;
2 cWho walk to go down to Egypt,
And dhave not asked My advice,
To strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh,
And to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 eTherefore the strength of Pharaoh
Shall be your shame,
And trust in the shadow of Egypt
Shall be your humiliation.
4 For his princes were at fZoan,
And his ambassadors came to Hanes.
5 gThey were all ashamed of a people who could not benefit them,
Or be help or benefit,
But a shame and also a reproach.”
6 hThe 2burden against the beasts of the South.
Through a land of trouble and anguish,
From which came the lioness and lion,
iThe viper and fiery flying serpent,
They will carry their riches on the backs of young donkeys,
And their treasures on the humps of camels,
To a people who shall not profit;
7 jFor the Egyptians shall help in vain and to no purpose.
Therefore I have called her
3Rahab-Hem-Shebeth.

About The New King James VersionThe New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study. |
