Isaiah 30:5-7
New King James Version
Isaiah 30:5-7
New King James Version
5 (A)They were all ashamed of a people who could not benefit them,
Or be help or benefit,
But a shame and also a reproach.”
6 (B)The [a]burden against the beasts of the South.
Through a land of trouble and anguish,
From which came the lioness and lion,
(C)The viper and fiery flying serpent,
They will carry their riches on the backs of young donkeys,
And their treasures on the humps of camels,
To a people who shall not profit;
7 (D)For the Egyptians shall help in vain and to no purpose.
Therefore I have called her
[b]Rahab-Hem-Shebeth.

5 everyone will be put to shame
because of a people(A) useless(B) to them,
who bring neither help(C) nor advantage,

Through a land of hardship and distress,(G)
of lions(H) and lionesses,
of adders and darting snakes,(I)

Rahab(M) the Do-Nothing.
