Isaiah 30:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ They were all confounded at a people that could not profit them: they were no help, nor to any profit, but to confusion and to reproach.

⁶ The burden of the beasts of the south. In a land of trouble and distress, from whence come the lioness, and the lion, the viper and the flying basilisk, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of beasts, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels to a people that shall not be able to profit them.

⁷ For Egypt shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this: It is pride only, sit still.
