They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 5 is found in chapter 30 of Isaiah. Judah seeks refuge in Egypt without consulting Yahweh. The alliance intended to provide security becomes a source of shame because true protection does not come from horses or military strength. The refusal to listen to the prophetic word reveals that the political problem arises from theological distrust.

aber sie müssen doch alle zu Schanden werden über dem Volk, das ihnen nicht nütze sein kann, weder zur Hilfe noch sonst zu Nutz, sondern nur zu Schande und Spott.
Se avergonzarán todos del pueblo que no les aprovechará, ni los socorrerá, ni les traerá provecho; antes les será para vergüenza, y aun para oprobio.
Tous seront confus au sujet d'un peuple qui ne leur sera point utile, Ni pour les secourir, ni pour les aider, Mais qui fera leur honte et leur opprobre.
tutti saranno confusi per lo popolo che non gioverà loro nulla, e non sarà di aiuto, nè di giovamento alcuno; anzi di vergogna, ed anche d’ignominia.
Todos se envergonharão de um povo que de nada lhes servirá nem de ajuda, nem de proveito, porém de vergonha, e de opróbrio.
他們必因那無益於他們的民蒙羞; 那民並非幫助,也非有益, 只帶來羞恥和凌辱。」
