Isaiah 30:3-5
Common English Bible
3 Pharaoh’s refuge will become your shame,
hiding in Egypt’s shadow your disgrace.
4 Though their officials are in Zoan,
and their messengers reach Hanes,
5 all will become shamed because of a people who can’t assist them.
They are no help; they are no profit;
rather, shame and disgrace.
Isaiah 30:3-5
