Isaiah 30:6-8

Living Bible

⁶ See them moving slowly across the terrible desert to Egypt—donkeys and camels laden down with treasure to pay for Egypt’s aid. On through the badlands they go, where lions and swift venomous snakes live—and Egypt will give you nothing in return! ⁷ For Egypt’s promises are worthless! “The Reluctant Dragon,”^[a] I call her!

⁸ Now go and write down this word of mine concerning Egypt, so that it will stand until the end of time, forever and forever, as an indictment of Israel’s unbelief.
