Isaiah 30:6

New International Reader's Version Bible (NIRV)

Here is a prophecy the Lord gave me about the animals in the Negev Desert.

Judah’s messengers carry their riches on the backs of donkeys.
    They carry their treasures on the humps of camels.
    They travel through a land of danger and suffering.
It’s a land filled with lions.
    Poisonous snakes are also there.
The messengers travel to a nation
    that can’t do them any good.
