Isaías 30:5

5 Todos se avergonzarán a causa de un pueblo que no les trae provecho, no les sirve de ayuda ni de utilidad, sino de verguenza y también de oprobio.

Isaías 30:5 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 30:5

They were all ashamed of a people [that] could not profit
them
The princes, the ambassadors that were sent unto them, and the king or people, or both, that sent them, who hoped for and expected great things from them, but, being disappointed, were filled with shame; because either the Egyptians, who are the people here meant, either could not help them, or would not, not daring to engage with so powerful an enemy as the Assyrian monarch, which is illustrated and confirmed by repeating the same, and using other words: nor be an help, nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach:
so far from being of any advantage to them, by helping and assisting them against their enemy, wanting either inclination or capacity, or both, that it not only turned to their shame, but even was matter of reproach to them, that ever they made any application to them, or placed any confidence in them for help.

6 Profecía sobre las bestias del Neguev. Por tierra de tribulación y angustia, de donde vienen la leona y el león, la víbora y la serpiente voladora, llevan sus riquezas sobre lomos de pollinos y sus tesoros sobre gibas de camellos, a un pueblo que no les traerá provecho,

7 a Egipto, cuya ayuda es vana y vacía. Por tanto lo he llamado Rahab el destruido.
