Parallels

  • Isaiah 1:2-4 (thematic): Both passages denounce Israel as rebellious children who turn from God, accumulating guilt and refusing true instruction.
  • Isaiah 30:9-11 (structural): Immediate parallel within the chapter: the people are called 'rebellious' who refuse to hear the LORD and seek counsel/comfort not from him—same motive and language.
  • Jeremiah 23:16 (thematic): Condemns prophets who give messages not from the LORD; connects to taking counsel 'not of me' and relying on human/false guidance.
  • Ezekiel 13:6-9 (verbal): Denounces those who prophesy lies and give false coverings/comfort—language and critique of false spirit and deceptive counsel echo Isaiah 30:1's charge.
  • Deuteronomy 32:28 (thematic): Describes a people 'without counsel' and lacking understanding—parallels the criticism of seeking counsel apart from God and thereby compounding sin.

Alternative generated candidates

  • Woe to the rebellious children, declares the LORD, who take counsel, but not of me; who make a covenant, but not by my Spirit, to heap sin upon sin.
  • Woe to the rebellious children, declares the LORD, who devise a plan, but not by me, and make a covenant, but not by my Spirit, to pile sin upon sin;

Parallels

  • Isaiah 31:1 (verbal): Direct parallel and reiteration of the same rebuke: condemns those who go down to Egypt for help and trust in horses/chariots rather than in the Lord.
  • Jeremiah 2:18 (thematic): Prophetic chiding of Israel for seeking Egypt ('to go to Egypt') and relying on foreign aid instead of God—same trust-in-Egypt motif.
  • 2 Kings 17:4 (structural): Historical example: King Hoshea sought help from Egypt (So), illustrating the political/military reliance on Egypt that prophets condemn and which led to disaster.
  • Psalm 20:7 (thematic): Contrasts human military confidence ('some trust in chariots and horses') with trust in God—reflects Isaiah's critique of relying on Egypt's power.
  • Ezekiel 17:15 (allusion): Allegory of Judah making an alliance with Egypt and relying on its strength—parallels Isaiah's charge that trusting Egypt violates dependence on the Lord.

Alternative generated candidates

  • They go down to Egypt without consulting my mouth; they seek refuge in Pharaoh's stronghold and take shelter in the shadow of Egypt.
  • who go down to Egypt without asking my counsel, to take refuge in the stronghold of Pharaoh and to trust in the shade of Egypt.

Parallels

  • Isaiah 31:1 (thematic): Both passages condemn seeking military/political help from Egypt rather than trusting YHWH; Isa.30:3 predicts shame from relying on Pharaoh, and 31:1 issues a woe to those who go down to Egypt for help.
  • Isaiah 31:3 (verbal): Isaiah explicitly diminishes Egyptian power ('the Egyptians are men, and not God'), directly supporting Isa.30:3's claim that trust in Egypt/Pharaoh results in humiliation.
  • Hosea 7:11 (thematic): Hosea depicts Israel/Ephraim calling to Egypt for help (and to Assyria), echoing the motif of misplaced reliance on Egypt that Isaiah condemns.
  • Ezekiel 17:15-16 (structural): Ezekiel recounts Judah's envoy to Egypt for military support and announces consequences—parallel narrative structure and theme: making alliance with Egypt brings divine judgment or shame.
  • Psalm 118:8 (thematic): Expresses the theological principle opposite reliance on human powers ('It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes'), paralleling Isaiah's critique of trusting Pharaoh/Egypt.

Alternative generated candidates

  • Yet the refuge of Pharaoh shall become to you shame, and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt a disgrace.
  • Therefore the stronghold of Pharaoh will be to you a shame, and the refuge in the shade of Egypt a disgrace.

Parallels

  • Isaiah 31:1 (thematic): A parallel warning against turning to Egypt for military assistance (horses, chariots); continues the theme of misplaced trust in Egyptian power rather than God.
  • Ezekiel 17:15-16 (verbal): Describes a ruler sending envoys/ambassadors to Egypt for alliance—parallels the diplomatic outreach to Egypt pictured in Isa 30:4 (sending officers/ambassadors to Egyptian cities).
  • Psalm 78:12 (verbal): Mentions Zoan (Tanis) in recounting God’s acts in Egypt; provides a geographic/cultural link to the city named in Isaiah 30:4 and highlights Egypt’s role in Israel’s narrative.

  • For Topheth has long been prepared; yes, it is made ready for the king. Its pyre is ample with wood and much fuel; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, kindles it.
  • For Topheth has long been prepared; indeed, for the king it is prepared—he has made it deep and wide; its pyre is fire with much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, kindles it.

Woe to the rebellious children, declares the LORD, who take counsel, but not from me; who make a covenant, but not by my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin.

Who go down to Egypt without asking — who rely on the strength of Pharaoh and take refuge in the shadow of Egypt.

Your refuge will be Pharaoh — a shame; the shelter in the shade of Egypt will be disgrace.

For his officials are at Zoan, and his envoys have reached Hanes.

All that brings disgrace upon a people will not help them; it will be no support, no help — only shame and reproach.

A burden concerning the beasts of the Negeb: in a land of distress and anguish — bring them forth. They come with a hissing and a flying serpent; they bear their loads on the shoulder of young asses and heap treasure on the humps of camels. They come to a people that will not profit them.

Egypt is vanity and emptiness; its help is worthless — therefore I have called her Rahab, the one who rests in vain. Now go, write it on a tablet before them and inscribe it on a scroll, that it may be for the time to come, for ever and ever.

For this is a rebellious people, children who refuse instruction, sons who will not listen to the law of the LORD.

To the seers they say, “Do not see,” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us what is right; speak to us smooth things, prophesy illusions.”

Get out of the way, turn aside from the path; stop up the Holy One of Israel for us — they say.

Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel: Because you have rejected this word and trusted in oppression and relied upon it,

this iniquity shall be for you like a breach ready to fall, a bulge in a high wall, whose collapse comes suddenly, instantly.

Its breaking will be like the smashing of a potter’s jar; no mercy — not a shard to take fire from the hearth, nor a fragment on which one might scoop water from a cistern.

For thus says the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength. But you refused. And you said, “No — we will flee on horses”; therefore you shall flee. “We will ride upon swift steeds”; therefore your pursuers will be swift.

One thousand will flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five you shall flee, until you are left like a flag on the mountaintop, like a banner on the hill.

Therefore the LORD waits to be gracious to you; therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; blessed are all who wait for him.

For a people will dwell in Zion; in Jerusalem you shall weep no more. He will be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when he hears, he will answer you.

The LORD will give you bread of adversity and water of affliction; your teachers will no longer be hidden, and your eyes shall see your teachers. And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.

You will cast away the silver idol, the work of your hands, and fling aside the gold chain; you will say to them, “Be gone!”

He will give rain for your seed that you sow in the ground, and bread of the produce of the earth; your fields will be rich and fruitful. On that day your cattle will graze in broad pastures. And the oxen and the young donkeys of the stalls will eat good fodder; they will eat the grain from the threshing floor and the gleanings of the sieve.

On every lofty mountain and every high hill there shall be streams and brooks of water, on the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

The light of the moon shall be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, like the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD binds up the bruises of his people and heals the stroke of their wound.

Behold, the name of the LORD comes from afar; his anger burns, and the burden of his lips is heavy. His lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is like a devouring fire. And his breath is like a sweeping torrent that reaches to the neck; he will sift the nations with the sieve of vanity, and will cast out the rest of them as a bridle on the jaws of peoples.

Your song will be a holy joy, a festival and gladness of heart — as when one goes with flutes to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.

The LORD will make his majestic voice heard, and show the descent of his arm; in fierce anger and a devouring flame of fire, a blast and storm and hailstones.

For by the voice of the LORD Assyria will be broken; with the rod he will strike. And the tumult he will set against them — the LORD will array against them tambourines and harps; at the cry of battle he will fight them.

For Topheth has long been prepared; for the king it is made deep and wide — its pile is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, sets it ablaze.
