Thomas Aquinas, on Isa 30:2

“Who walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth, hoping for help in the strength of Pharao, and trusting in the shadow of Egypt.”

“669. Second, he sets out the execution of this counsel as to walking the way: who walk, which is deformed by contempt of divine counsel; who have not asked at my mouth, the prophet: if you will separate the precious from the vile, you shall be as my mouth (Jer 15:19), because you would not do what he said; and by trusting in human help, trusting in the shadow of Egypt: cursed be the man that trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm (Jer 17:5).”
