Isaiah 30:2-6
New International Version
Isaiah 30:2-6
New International Version
2 who go down to Egypt(A)
without consulting(B) me;
who look for help to Pharaoh’s protection,(C)
to Egypt’s shade for refuge.(D)
3 But Pharaoh’s protection will be to your shame,
Egypt’s shade(E) will bring you disgrace.(F)
4 Though they have officials in Zoan(G)
and their envoys have arrived in Hanes,
5 everyone will be put to shame
because of a people(H) useless(I) to them,
who bring neither help(J) nor advantage,
but only shame and disgrace.(K)”
Isaiah 30:2-6
King James Version
Isaiah 30:2-6
King James Version
2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4 For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
5 They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
6 The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.

Isaiah 30:2-6
New King James Version
2 (A)Who walk to go down to Egypt,
And (B)have not asked My advice,
To strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh,
And to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 (C)Therefore the strength of Pharaoh
Shall be your shame,
And trust in the shadow of Egypt
Shall be your humiliation.
4 For his princes were at (D)Zoan,
And his ambassadors came to Hanes.
5 (E)They were all ashamed of a people who could not benefit them,
Or be help or benefit,
But a shame and also a reproach.”
6 (F)The [a]burden against the beasts of the South.
Through a land of trouble and anguish,
From which came the lioness and lion,
(G)The viper and fiery flying serpent,
They will carry their riches on the backs of young donkeys,
And their treasures on the humps of camels,
To a people who shall not profit;
