Isaiah 30:3-5
New English Translation
3 But Pharaoh’s protection will bring you nothing but shame,
and the safety of Egypt’s protective shade nothing but humiliation.
4 Though his[a] officials are in Zoan
and his messengers arrive at Hanes,[b]
5 all will be put to shame[c]
because of a nation that cannot help them,
who cannot give them aid or help,
but only shame and disgrace.”
