Isaiah 30:5-7
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
5 They were all confounded at a people that could not profit them: they were no help, nor to any profit, but to confusion and to reproach.
6 The burden of the beasts of the south. In a land of trouble and distress, from whence come the lioness, and the lion, the viper and the flying basilisk, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of beasts, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels to a people that shall not be able to profit them.
7 For Egypt shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this: It is pride only, 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)
Therefore I call her
Rahab(M) the Do-Nothing.
