Isaiah 30:4
King James Version
“For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.”
Context
1Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
2That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt confusion.
4For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
5They were all ashamed of a people could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
6The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people shall not profit
7For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength to sit still.
