This is the divine revelation about the animals in the Negev.

“My people travel through lands
    where they experience distress and hardship.
        Lions and lionesses live there.
        Vipers and poisonous snakes live there.
    They carry their riches on the backs of young donkeys
    and their treasures on the humps of camels
        to a nation that can’t help them.
Egypt’s help is completely useless.
    That is why I call it, ‘Rahab[a] who sits still.’
Now, write this on a tablet for them, and inscribe it in a book
    so that it will be there in the future as a permanent witness.
These people are rebellious and deceitful children,
    children who refuse to listen to Yahweh’s teachings.
10 They say to the seers,[b] ‘Don’t see the future.’
    They say to those who have visions,
    ‘Don’t have visions that tell us what is right.
    Tell us what we want to hear. See illusions.
11 Get out of our way! Stop blocking our path!
    Get Qedosh Yisrael out of our sight.’”
