Isaiah 30:3-5
Therefore the safety of Pharaoh will be your shame, And the shelter in the shadow of Egypt, your humiliation.For their officials are at Zoan And their ambassadors arrive at Hanes.Everyone will be ashamed because of a people who do not benefit them, Who are not a help or benefit, but a source of shame and also disgrace.”

Jeremiah 17:5-8
This is what the Lord says:“ Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind And makes flesh his strength, And whose heart turns away from the Lord.For he will be like a bush in the desert, And will not see when prosperity comes, But will live in stony wastes in the wilderness, A land of salt that is not inhabited.Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose trust is the Lord.For he will be like a tree planted by the water That extends its roots by a stream, And does not fear when the heat comes; But its leaves will be green, And it will not be anxious in a year of drought, Nor cease to yield fruit.

Isaiah 31:3
Now the Egyptians are human and not God, And their horses are flesh and not spirit; So the Lord will stretch out His hand, And any helper will stumble, And one who is helped will fall. And all of them will come to an end together.

Psalms 20:1-9
May the Lord answer you on a day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob protect you!May He send you help from the sanctuary, And support you from Zion!May He remember all your meal offerings And accept your burnt offering! SelahMay He grant you your heart’s desire And fulfill your whole plan!We will sing for joy over your victory, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners. May the Lord fulfill all your desires.Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven With the saving strength of His right hand.Some praise their chariots and some their horses, But we will praise the name of the Lord, our God.They have bowed down and fallen, But we have risen and stood upright.Save, Lord; May the King answer us on the day we call.
