For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.

The verse 7 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.

Denn Ägypten ist nichts, und ihr Helfen ist vergeblich. Darum sage ich von Ägypten also: Die Rahab wird still dazu sitzen.
Ciertamente Egipto en vano e inútilmente dará ayuda; por tanto yo le dí voces, que su fortaleza sería estarse quietos.
Car le secours de l'Egypte n'est que vanité et néant; C'est pourquoi j'appelle cela du bruit qui n'aboutit à rien.
E gli Egizi li soccerreranno in vano, ed a vuoto; per questo io l’ho chiamato: Rahab, che se ne sta tranquilla
Porque o Egito os ajudará em vão, e para nenhum fim; por isso clamei acerca disto: No estarem quietos será a sua força.
埃及 的幫助是徒然的, 因此,我稱它為「毫不中用的 拉哈伯 」 。
