Isaiah 30:15-17

Now the Lord raiseth up instruments to punish his children from their own pursuits, and, like Jonah's gourd, maketh a worm to come forth from the root of it! The Lord had assured his people, that if they would rest upon his power, he would protect them. But they thought a banded army of men would be better, and, therefore, as they valued Egypt's strength more than heaven's security, they should find, to their cost, that that strength should profit them nothing.
