Isaiah 30:4-6
Easy-to-Read Version
4 Your leaders have gone to Zoan, and your representatives have gone to Hanes.[a] 5 But they will be disappointed. They are depending on a nation that cannot help them. Egypt is useless—it will not help. Egypt will bring nothing but shame and embarrassment.”
God’s Message to Judah
6 This is a message[b] about the Negev animals[c]:
There is a dangerous place full of lions, adders,[d] deadly snakes,[e] and useless people. And there are people who load their wealth onto donkeys and their treasures on the backs of camels. They carry them to a people who cannot help.
