Isaiah 30:1-7

1 “Woe to the ^arebellious children,” declares the Lord,
“Who ^bexecute a plan, but not Mine,
And ^{▼▼ Lit pour out a drink offering
,} ^dmake an alliance, but not of My Spirit,
In order to add sin to sin;
2 Who ^eproceed down to Egypt
Without ^fconsulting ^{▼▼ Lit My mouth}Me,
^hTo take refuge in the safety of Pharaoh
And to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt!
3 “Therefore the safety of Pharaoh will be ⁱyour shame
And the shelter in the shadow of Egypt, your humiliation.
4 “For ^jtheir princes are at Zoan
And their ambassadors arrive at Hanes.
5 “Everyone will be ^kashamed because of a people who cannot profit them,
Who are ^lnot for help or profit, but for shame and also for reproach.”

6 The ^{▼▼ Or burden of}oracle concerning the ⁿbeasts of the ^oNegev. Through a land of ^pdistress and anguish,
From ^{▼▼ Lit them}where come lioness and lion, viper and ^rflying serpent,
They ^scarry their riches on the ^{▼▼ Lit shoulders}backs of young donkeys
And their treasures on ^ucamels’ humps,
To a people who cannot profit them;
7 Even Egypt, whose ^vhelp is vain and empty.
Therefore, I have called ^{▼▼ Lit this one}her
^{▼▼ M.T. reads They are Rahab (or arrogance), to remain
,} ^y“Rahab who has been exterminated.”
