Isaiah 30:7-9
Easy-to-Read Version

7 That useless nation is Egypt. Egypt’s help is worth nothing, so I call Egypt the “Do-Nothing Dragon.”[a]

8 Now write this on a sign so that all people can see it, and write this in a book. Write these things for a future time. This will be far, far in the future:[b]

9 These people are like children who refuse to obey. They lie and refuse to listen to the Lord’s teachings.
