Isaiah 30:6-8

GOD’S WORD Translation

“My people travel through lands
where they experience distress and hardship.
Lions and lionesses live there.
Vipers and poisonous snakes live there.
They carry their riches on the backs of young donkeys
and their treasures on the humps of camels
to a nation that can’t help them.
⁷ Egypt’s help is completely useless.
That is why I call it, ‘Rahab ^[a] who sits still.’
⁸ Now, write this on a tablet for them, and inscribe it in a book
so that it will be there in the future as a permanent witness.
