‘ Aren’t all my commanders kings?’ he says.

They go down to Egypt without asking me for advice. They look to Pharaoh to help them. They ask Egypt to keep them safe.But looking to Pharaoh will only bring them shame. Asking Egypt for help will bring them dishonor.Their officials have gone to the city of Zoan. Their messengers have arrived in Hanes.But the people of Judah will be put to shame. That’s 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.”

People trusted in Cush to help them. They bragged about what Egypt could do for them. But they will lose heart and be put to shame.

You said,‘ No. We’ll escape on horses.’ So you will have to escape! You said,‘ We’ll ride off on fast horses.’ So those who chase you will use faster horses!When one of them dares you to fight, a thousand of you will run away. When five of them dare you, all of you will run away. So few of you will be left that you will be like a flagpole on top of a mountain. You will be like only one banner on a hill.”

The men of Egypt are only human beings. They aren’t God. Their horses are only flesh and blood. They aren’t spirits. The Lord will reach out his powerful hand to punish everyone. The Egyptians provide help. But they will be tripped up. The people of Judah receive the help. But they will fall down. All of them will be destroyed.

You can prepare a horse for the day of battle. But the power to win comes from the Lord.

You are depending on Egypt for chariots and horsemen. You can’t drive away even the least important officer among my master’s officials.

They travel to Egypt, whose help is totally useless. That’s why I call it Rahab the Do- Nothing.

Why do you keep on changing your ways so much? Assyria did not help you. And Egypt will not help you either.

The king must not get large numbers of horses for himself. He must not make the people return to Egypt to get more horses. The Lord has told you,“ You must not go back there again.”

Look, I know you are depending on Egypt. Why are you doing that? Egypt is nothing but a broken papyrus stem. Try leaning on it. It will only cut your hand. Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, is just like that to everyone who depends on him.
