"And they shall be afraidª° and ashamedª° of Ethiopiaª¹ their expectation,ª and of¹ Egyptª their glory.ª ...

For the Egyptiansª shall helpª° in vain,ª and to no purpose:ª therefore¹ have I criedª° concerning this,ª Their² strengthª [is] to sit still.ª" {Isa 30:1-7} + "Now the Egyptiansª [are] men,ª and not¹ God;ª and their horsesª flesh,ª and not¹ spirit.ª When the LORDª shall stretch outª° his hand,ª both he that helpethª° shall fall,ª° and he that is holpenª° shall fall down,ª° and they all¹ shall failª° together.ª" {Isa 31:3} + "And the kingª of Assyriaª foundª° conspiracyª in Hoshea:ª for he had sentª° messengersª to¹ Soª kingª of Egypt,ª and broughtª° no¹ presentª to the kingª of Assyria,ª as [he had done] yearª by year:ª therefore the kingª of Assyriaª shut him up,ª° and boundª° him in prison.ªª" {2Kg 17:4} + "Now,¹ behold,¹ thou trustestª° upon¹ the staffª of this¹ bruisedª° reed,ª [even] upon¹ Egypt,ª on¹ which¹ if a manª lean,ª° it will goª° into his hand,ª and pierceª° it: so¹ [is] Pharaohª kingª of Egyptª unto all¹ that trustª° on¹ him." {2Kg 18:21} + "Then Pharaoh'sª armyª was come forthª° out of Egypt:ª¹ and when the Chaldeansª that besiegedª°¹ Jerusalemª heardª°¹ tidingsª of them, they departedª° from¹¹ Jerusalem.ª ...
