because of a people who can’t help.

they are good for nothing but shame and reproach.

How unstable you are,
constantly changing your ways!
You will be put to shame by Egypt
just as you were put to shame by Assyria.

Egypt’s help is completely worthless;
therefore, I call her:
Rahab Who Just Sits.

Isaiah 20:5-6

Those who made Cush their hope and Egypt their boast will be dismayed and ashamed.

Isaiah 30:16

You say, “No!
We will escape on horses”—
therefore you will escape!—
and, “We will ride on fast horses”—
but those who pursue you will be faster.

Isaiah 31:1-3

Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help
and who depend on horses!
They trust in the abundance of chariots
and in the large number of horsemen.
They do not look to the Holy One of Israel
and they do not seek the Lord’s help.
