Isaiah 30:4-6

Contemporary English Version

⁴The king's power reaches
from the city of Zoan
as far south as Hanes.^[a]
⁵But Egypt can't protect you,
and to trust that nation
is useless and foolish.”

⁶This is a message
about the animals
    of the Southern Desert:
“You people carry treasures
    on donkeys and camels.
You travel to a feeble nation
through a troublesome desert
    filled with lions
    and flying fiery dragons.
