Yesaya 2:22
Konteks2:22 Stop trusting in human beings,
whose life’s breath is in their nostrils.
For why should they be given special consideration?
Yesaya 30:3-5
Konteks30:3 But Pharaoh’s protection will bring you nothing but shame,
and the safety of Egypt’s protective shade nothing but humiliation.
30:4 Though his 1 officials are in Zoan
and his messengers arrive at Hanes, 2
30:5 all will be put to shame 3
because of a nation that cannot help them,
who cannot give them aid or help,
but only shame and disgrace.”
Yesaya 31:3
Konteks31:3 The Egyptians are mere humans, not God;
their horses are made of flesh, not spirit.
The Lord will strike with 4 his hand;
the one who helps will stumble
and the one being helped will fall.
Together they will perish. 5
