Context of Isaiah 30:5
3For to you the protection of Pharaoh shall be a shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt a confusion. 4For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes. They were all ashamed of a people [that] did not profit them, nor were a help or profit, but a shame, and also a reproach. 6— The burden of the beasts of the south: Through a land of trouble and anguish, whence come the lioness and lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to the people that shall not profit [them]. 7For Egypt shall help in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I named her, Arrogance, that doeth nothing.
