Isaiah 30:5-7

Revised Geneva Translation

⁵ “They shall all be ashamed of the people who cannot profit them or help or do them good but are a shame and a reproach.”

⁶ The burden of the beasts of the South: In a land of trouble and anguish—from where comes the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent—they shall bear their riches upon the shoulders of the colts, and their treasures upon the bunches of the camels, to a people that cannot profit.

⁷ “For the Egyptians are purposeless, and they shall help in vain. Therefore I have cried to her. Their strength is to sit still.
