Isaiah 30:6-8

New Catholic Bible

Through a land of hardship and distress,
    of the lioness and the roaring lion,
    of the viper and the flying serpent,
they carry their wealth on the backs of donkeys
    and their treasures on the humps of camels
    to a nation that cannot be of help to them.
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.
