6. A prophecy concerning the animals of the Negev:Through a land of hardship and distress,of lions and lionesses,of adders and darting snakes,the envoys carry their riches on donkeys’ backs,their treasures on the humps of camels,to that unprofitable nation,
7. to Egypt, whose help is utterly useless.Therefore I call herRahab the Do-Nothing.
8. Go now, write it on a tablet for them,inscribe it on a scroll,that for the days to comeit may be an everlasting witness.
9. For these are rebellious people, deceitful children,children unwilling to listen to the Lord’s instruction.
