Isaiah 30:3 · BSB

Isaiah 30:3 in context

The verses around it, from Isaiah 30.

1 “Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the LORD, “to those who carry out a plan that is not Mine, who form an alliance, but against My will, heaping up sin upon sin.

2 They set out to go down to Egypt without asking My advice, to seek shelter under Pharaoh’s protection and take refuge in Egypt’s shade.

3 But Pharaoh’s protection will become your shame, and the refuge of Egypt’s shade your disgrace.

4 For though their princes are at Zoan and their envoys have arrived in Hanes,

5 everyone will be put to shame because of a people useless to them. They cannot be of help; they are good for nothing but shame and reproach.”

6 This is the burden against the beasts of the Negev: Through a land of hardship and distress, of lioness and lion, of viper and flying serpent, they carry their wealth on the backs of donkeys and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people of no profit to them.

7 Egypt’s help is futile and empty; therefore I have called her Rahab Who Sits Still.
