I don't know how many times I have read these verses over that past few months, but as I read them yesterday morning, it was as thouugh I understood them for the first time. The verse God used to really draw me in and open my eyes was verse 2--"Who set out to go down to Egypt, without asking for my direction..."(ESV).
How dangerous it is for us to go about making and carrying out big decisions without first consulting God. When we try live our life on our own and look to the world for help, shame and disgrace will be our reward.
"Egypt's hlep is worthless and empty; therefore I have called her 'Rahab who sits still'" (verse 7, ESV).
