Isaiah 30:6-8
New American Standard Bible 1995
6 The [a]oracle concerning the (A)beasts of the (B)Negev.
Through a land of (C)distress and anguish,
From [b]where come lioness and lion, viper and (D)flying serpent,
They (E)carry their riches on the [c]backs of young donkeys
And their treasures on (F)camels’ humps,
To a people who cannot profit them;
7 Even Egypt, whose (G)help is vain and empty.
Therefore, I have called [d]her
“[e](H)Rahab who has been exterminated.”
8 Now go, (I)write it on a tablet before them
And inscribe it on a scroll,
That it may [f]serve in the time to come
[g]As a witness forever.

New International Version
6 A prophecy(A) concerning the animals of the Negev:(B)
Through a land of hardship and distress,(C)
of lions(D) and lionesses,
of adders and darting snakes,(E)
the envoys carry their riches on donkeys’(F) backs,
their treasures(G) on the humps of camels,
to that unprofitable nation,
7 to Egypt, whose help is utterly useless.(H)
Therefore I call her
Rahab(I) the Do-Nothing.
