Isaiah:30:2-7
Seeker Overlay ON
*
who set out to go down to Egypt ,
without asking for my counsel ,
to take refuge in the protection of Pharaoh ,
and to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt !
*
Therefore shall the protection of Pharaoh turn to your shame ,
and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt to your humiliation .
*
For though his officials are at Zo '
an and his envoys reach Ha '
nes ,
*
every one comes to shame through a people that cannot profit them ,
that brings neither help nor profit ,
but shame and disgrace ."
*
An oracle on the beasts of the Negeb .
Through a land of trouble and anguish ,
from where come the lioness and the lion ,
the viper and the flying serpent ,
they carry their riches on the backs of asses ,
and their treasures on the humps of camels ,
to a people that cannot profit them .
*
For Egypt '
s help is worthless and empty ,
therefore I have called her "
Rahab who sits still ."
