Isaiah 30:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ But the people of Egypt will not be able to help you. So everyone in Judah will become ashamed. If you trust in Egypt, they will give you shame instead of help.’

⁶ Here is a message about the animals that travel in the Negev desert: It is a place where there is trouble and danger. There are dangerous lions there, both male and female. There are different kinds of dangerous snakes. People are carrying their valuable things on the backs of donkeys and camels. They are taking their riches as gifts to a nation that cannot help them! ⁷ Help from Egypt is useless! So I call Egypt ‘Rahab who does nothing.’^[a]
