Isaiah 30:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 They shall be all ashamed of the people that cannot profit them, nor help, nor do them good, but shall be a shame and also a reproach.
6 ¶ The [a]burden of the beasts of the South, in a land of trouble and anguish, from whence shall come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent against them that shall bear their riches upon the shoulders of the colts, and their treasures upon the bunches of the camels, to a people that cannot profit.
7 For the Egyptians are vanity, and they shall help in vain. Therefore have I cried unto [b]her, Their strength [c]is to sit still.

Isaiah 30:5-7
New International Version
5 everyone will be put to shame
because of a people(A) useless(B) to them,
who bring neither help(C) nor advantage,
but only shame and disgrace.(D)”
6 A prophecy(E) concerning the animals of the Negev:(F)
Through a land of hardship and distress,(G)
of lions(H) and lionesses,
of adders and darting snakes,(I)
the envoys carry their riches on donkeys’(J) backs,
their treasures(K) on the humps of camels,
to that unprofitable nation,
7 to Egypt, whose help is utterly useless.(L)

Rahab(M) the Do-Nothing.
