Isaiah 20:6

“Egypt’s protection will be to your shame, Egypt’s help will utterly humiliate you.”

Shares the theme of the futility of trusting in Egypt for help.

“Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses, who trust in the multitude of their chariots and in the great strength of their horsemen, but do not look to the Holy One of Israel, or seek help from the Lord.”

Warns against relying on Egypt instead of God.

“Why are you so eager to go about changing your ways? You will be disappointed by Egypt as you were by Assyria.”

Points out the disappointment that comes from relying on foreign powers like Egypt.

“Then all who live in Egypt will know that I am the Lord. “ ‘You have been a staff of reed for the people of Israel. When they grasped you with their hands, you splintered and you tore open their shoulders; when they leaned on you, you broke and you made their backs stiff.’ ”

Condemns Egypt as an unreliable support for Israel.

“Ephraim is like a dove, easily deceived and senseless—now calling to Egypt, now running to Assyria.”

Illustrates Israel's foolishness in seeking help from foreign nations.
