In context

2even they that proceed to go down into Egypt, but they have not inquired of me, that they might be helped by Pharaoh, and protected by the Egyptians.

3For the protection of Pharaoh shall be to you a disgrace, and there shall be a reproach to them that trust in Egypt.

— Isaiah 30:4 —

6The vision of the quadrupeds in the desert. In affliction and distress, where are the lion and lion’s whelp, thence come also asps, and the young of flying asps, there shall they be who bore their wealth on asses and camels to a nation which shall not profit them.
