Isaiah 30:6-11

6A prophecy concerning the animals of the Negev: Through a land of hardship and distress, of lions and lionesses, of adders and darting snakes, the envoys carry their riches on donkeys’ backs, their treasures on the humps of camels, to that unprofitable nation,

7to Egypt, whose help is utterly useless. Therefore I call her Rahab the Do-Nothing.

8Go now, write it on a tablet for them, inscribe it on a scroll, that for the days to come it may be an everlasting witness.

9For these are rebellious people, deceitful children, children unwilling to listen to the Lord’s instruction.

10They say to the seers, “See no more visions!” and to the prophets, “Give us no more visions of what is right! Tell us pleasant things, prophesy illusions.

11Leave this way, get off this path, and stop confronting us with the Holy One of Israel!”
