Isaiah 30:6

Isaiah 30:6

4 For his princes were at ^aZoan,
And his ambassadors came to Hanes.

5 ^aThey were all ashamed of a people who could not benefit them,
Or be help or benefit,
But a shame and also a reproach.”

6 ^aThe¹ burden against the beasts of the South.
Through a land of trouble and anguish,
From which came the lioness and lion,
^bThe 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;

7 ^aFor the Egyptians shall help in vain and to no purpose.
Therefore I have called her
Rahab-Hem-Shebeth.

A Rebellious People

8 Now go, ^awrite it before them on a tablet,
And note it on a scroll,
That it may be for time to come,
Forever and ever:

9 That ^athis is a rebellious people,
Lying children,
Children who will not hear the law of the Lord;

John Wesley's Notes

<< Isaiah 30:5

Isaiah 30:7 >>

The burden - The treasures, which were carried upon asses or camels, into Egypt, which lay southward from Judea. The land of trouble - Egypt, so called prophetically. From whence - This may be understood properly, but withal, seems to design the craft and cruelty of that people. They - The Jews. Their riches - To procure their assistance. Bunches - Upon the backs.
