Isaiah 30:6-8

International Children’s Bible

Southern Judah is a dangerous place.
    It is full of lions and lionesses,
    poisonous snakes and darting snakes.
The messengers travel through there with their wealth on donkeys’ backs.
    They have put their treasure on the backs of camels.
They carry them to a nation that cannot help them.
⁷     They go to Egypt whose help is useless.
So I call that country Rahab the Do-Nothing.

⁸ Now write this on a sign for the people.
    Write this on a scroll.
Write these things for the days to come.
    Write them so they will last forever.
