Isaiah

Isaiah 20:5–6

⁵Those who made Cush their hope and Egypt their boast will be dismayed and ashamed. ⁶And on that day the dwellers of this coastland will say, ‘See what has happened to our source of hope, those to whom we fled for help and deliverance from the king of Assyria! How then can we escape?’”
