Isaiah 30:7-9
New Catholic Bible
7 For Egypt’s help is vain and futile;
therefore I have called her
“Rahab[a] the Worthless.”
8 [b]And so go forth and in their presence
write it on a scroll,
inscribe it on a tablet,
so that it may serve hereafter
as an eternal witness.
9 They are a rebellious people,
deceitful children,
children who refuse to listen
to the instruction of the Lord.
