Isaiah 30:3-5
But Pharaoh’s protection will bring you nothing but shame, and the safety of Egypt’s protective shade nothing but humiliation.Though his officials are in Zoan and his messengers arrive at Hanes,all will be put to shame because of a nation that cannot help them, who cannot give them aid or help, but only shame and disgrace.”

Jeremiah 17:5-8
The LORD says,“ I will put a curse on people who trust in mere human beings, who depend on mere flesh and blood for their strength, and whose hearts have turned away from the LORD.They will be like a shrub in the desert. They will not experience good things even when they happen. It will be as though they were growing in the desert, in a salt land where no one can live.My blessing is on those people who trust in me, who put their confidence in me.They will be like a tree planted near a stream whose roots spread out toward the water. It has nothing to fear when the heat comes. Its leaves are always green. It has no need to be concerned in a year of drought. It does not stop bearing fruit.

Psalms 20:1-9
May the LORD answer you when you are in trouble; may the God of Jacob make you secure!May he send you help from his temple; from Zion may he give you support!May he take notice of your offerings; may he accept your burnt sacrifice!( Selah)May he grant your heart’s desire; may he bring all your plans to pass!Then we will shout for joy over your victory; we will rejoice in the name of our God! May the LORD grant all your requests!Now I am sure that the LORD will deliver his chosen king; he will intervene for him from his holy heavenly temple, and display his mighty ability to deliver.Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we depend on the LORD our God.They will fall down, but we will stand firm.The LORD will deliver the king; he will answer us when we call to him for help!
