Isaiah 30:6-8

Modern English Version

Through a land of trouble and anguish,
    from which comes the lioness and lion,
    the viper and fiery flying serpent,
they will carry their riches on the shoulders of young donkeys,
    and their treasures on the humps of camels,
to a people who shall not profit them.
⁷     For the Egyptians shall help in vain and to no purpose.
Therefore, I have called her,
    “Rahab who has been exterminated.”

⁸ Now go, write it before them on a tablet,
    and note it in a book,
that it may serve in the time to come
    as a witness forever;
