Isaiah 30:1-6

New American Standard Bible

30 “Woe to the ^(A)rebellious children,” declares the Lord,
“Who ^(B)execute a plan, but not Mine,
And ^[a](C)make an alliance, but not of My Spirit,
In order to add sin to sin;
² Who ^(D)proceed down to Egypt
Without ^(E)consulting ^[b]Me,
^(F)To take refuge in the safety of Pharaoh,
And to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt!
³ Therefore the safety of Pharaoh will be ^(G)your shame,
And the shelter in the shadow of Egypt, your humiliation.
⁴ For ^(H)their officials are at Zoan
And their ambassadors arrive at Hanes.
⁵ Everyone will be ^(I)ashamed because of a people who do not benefit them,
Who are ^(J)not a help or benefit, but a source of shame and also disgrace.”

Through a land of ^(M)distress and anguish,
From ^[c]where come lioness and lion, viper and ^(N)flying serpent,
They ^(O)carry their riches on the ^[d]backs of young donkeys,
And their treasures on ^(P)camels’ humps,
To a people who will not benefit them;
