Isaiah 30:5-7
The Message
Isaiah 30:5-7
The Message
All Show, No Substance
30 1-5 “Doom, rebel children!”
God’s Decree.
“You make plans, but not mine.
You make deals, but not in my Spirit.
You pile sin on sin,
one sin on top of another,
Going off to Egypt
without so much as asking me,
Running off to Pharaoh for protection,
expecting to hide out in Egypt.
Well, some protection Pharaoh will be!
Some hideout, Egypt!
They look big and important, true,
with officials strategically established in
Zoan in the north and Hanes in the south,
but there’s nothing to them.
Anyone stupid enough to trust them
will end up looking stupid—
All show, no substance,
an embarrassing farce.”
6-7 And this note on the animals of the Negev
encountered on the road to Egypt:
A most dangerous, treacherous route,
menaced by lions and deadly snakes.
And you’re going to lug all your stuff down there,
your donkeys and camels loaded down with bribes,
Thinking you can buy protection
from that hollow farce of a nation?
Egypt is all show, no substance.
My name for her is Toothless Dragon.
Isaiah 30:5-7
New International Version
Isaiah 30:5-7
New International Version
5 everyone will be put to shame
because of a people(A) useless(B) to them,
who bring neither help(C) nor advantage,
but only shame and disgrace.(D)”
6 A prophecy(E) concerning the animals of the Negev:(F)
Through a land of hardship and distress,(G)
of lions(H) and lionesses,
of adders and darting snakes,(I)
the envoys carry their riches on donkeys’(J) backs,
their treasures(K) on the humps of camels,
to that unprofitable nation,
7 to Egypt, whose help is utterly useless.(L)
Therefore I call her
Rahab(M) the Do-Nothing.
The Message (MSG)
