Isaiah 30:5-7
Evangelical Heritage Version
5 they will all be humiliated
because of a people that is useless to them.
They can neither help nor provide any benefit.
They bring only shame and reproach.
Judah’s Envoys Take Tribute to Egypt
6 An oracle about the animals of the Negev.
Through the land of trouble and distress,
the land of the lioness and the lion,
of the viper and the venomous flying serpent,
Judah’s envoys carry their wealth on the backs of donkeys
and their treasures on camels’ humps,
to a nation that cannot help them.
7 For Egypt’s help is useless and serves no purpose.
That is why I have called her “the dragon that just sits there.”[a]
