5 everyone comes to shame through a people that cannot profit them, that brings neither help nor profit, but shame and disgrace. 6 An oracle concerning the animals of the Negeb. Through a land of trouble and distress, of lioness and roaring lion, of viper and flying serpent, they carry their riches on the backs of donkeys, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people that cannot profit them. 7 For Egypt’s help is worthless and empty, therefore I have called her, “Rahab who sits still.” Isaiah 30:5-7, NRSV Catholic Edition.
