Isaiah 30:3-5
But Pharaoh’s protection will become your shame, and refuge in Egypt’s shadow your disgrace.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 reproach.

Jeremiah 17:5-8
This is what the Lord says: The man who trusts in mankind, who makes human flesh his strength and turns his heart from the Lord is cursed.He will be like a juniper in the Arabah; he cannot see when good comes but dwells in the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land where no one lives.The man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence indeed is the Lord, is blessed.He will be like a tree planted by water: it sends its roots out toward a stream, it doesn’t fear when heat comes, and its foliage remains green. It will not worry in a year of drought or cease producing fruit.

Isaiah 31:3
Egyptians are men, not God; their horses are flesh, not spirit. When the Lord raises His hand to strike, the helper will stumble and the one who is helped will fall; both will perish together.

Psalms 20:1-9
May Yahweh answer you in a day of trouble; may the name of Jacob’s God protect you.May He send you help from the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion.May He remember all your offerings and accept your burnt offering. SelahMay He give you what your heart desires and fulfill your whole purpose.Let us shout for joy at your victory and lift the banner in the name of our God. May Yahweh fulfill all your requests.Now I know that the Lord gives victory to His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with mighty victories from His right hand.Some take pride in chariots, and others in horses, but we take pride in the name of Yahweh our God.They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand firm.Lord, give victory to the king! May He answer us on the day that we call.

All the while our eyes were failing as we looked in vain for assistance; we watched from our towers for a nation that refused to help.

Do not trust in nobles, in man, who cannot save.When his breath leaves him, he returns to the ground; on that day his plans die.Happy is the one whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God,
