Isaiah 30:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ For though his princes are at Zoan
    and his envoys have reached Hanes,^[a]
5 everyone has been put to shame
    by a people who cannot be of any use,
who afford them neither help nor profit
    but only shame and disgrace.

Through a land of hardship and distress,
    of the lioness and the roaring lion,
    of the viper and the flying serpent,
they carry their wealth on the backs of donkeys
    and their treasures on the humps of camels
    to a nation that cannot be of help to them.
