Isaiah 30:3-5
Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors are come to Hanes.They shall all be ashamed because of a people that cannot profit them, that are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.

Jeremiah 17:5-8
Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah.For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.Blessed is the man that trusteth in Jehovah, and whose trust Jehovah is.For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreadeth out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat cometh, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

Isaiah 31:3
Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit: and when Jehovah shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall stumble, and he that is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.

Psalms 20:1-9
Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;Send thee help from the sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion;Remember all thy offerings, And accept thy burnt- sacrifice;[ SelahGrant thee thy heart’s desire, And fulfil all thy counsel.We will triumph in thy salvation, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners: Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions.Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; He will answer him from his holy heaven With the saving strength of his right hand.Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.They are bowed down and fallen; But we are risen, and stand upright.Save, Jehovah: Let the King answer us when we call.

Psalms 146:3-5
Put not your trust in princes, Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; In that very day his thoughts perish.Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:
