Shall be your shame,
And trust in the shadow of Egypt
Shall be your humiliation.
Or be help or benefit,
But a shame and also a reproach.”
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;
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:
