Isaiah 30:5-7

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁵ all shall be ashamed of the people that shall not profit them, nor be a help, nor bring them increase, but a shame, and also a reproach.

⁶ The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent; they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.

⁷ For the Egyptians shall help in vain and to no purpose; therefore I have cried out concerning this that your strength should be to sit still.
