Isaiah 30:5-7 ▼

5 There is only loathsome destruction through a people that cannot benefit them, who bring neither help nor profit, but only shame and disgrace.|

6 An oracle about the animals of the Negev: |Through a land of trouble, dryness, and distress, of lionesses and roaring lions, where there is no water, a land of vipers and darting snakes, he carries their riches on donkeys' backs, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a nation that cannot benefit them,

7 to Egypt, which gives help that is worthless and useless. Therefore I call her, 'Rahab, who just sits still.'|
