And bhave not asked My advice,
To strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh,
And to trust in the shadow of Egypt!

And trust in the shadow of Egypt
Shall be your humiliation.
Shall be your shame,
And trust in the shadow of Egypt
Shall be your humiliation.

But a shame and also a reproach.”
6 aThe1 burden against the beasts of the South.
Through a land of trouble and anguish,
From which came the lioness and lion,
bThe viper and fiery flying serpent,
They will carry their riches on the backs of young donkeys,
And their treasures on the humps of camels,
To a people who shall not profit;
Through a land of trouble and anguish,
From which came the lioness and lion,
bThe viper and fiery flying serpent,
They will carry their riches on the backs of young donkeys,
And their treasures on the humps of camels,
To a people who shall not profit;
7 aFor the Egyptians shall help in vain and to no purpose.
Therefore I have called her
Rahab-Hem-Shebeth.
Therefore I have called her
Rahab-Hem-Shebeth.
A Rebellious People

And note it on a scroll,
That it may be for time to come,
Forever and ever:
