    because Egypt is useless to them.

God’s Message to Judah

This is a message about the animals in southern Judah:

Southern Judah is a dangerous place
    full of lions and lionesses,
    poisonous snakes and darting snakes.
The messengers travel through there with their wealth on the backs of donkeys
    and their treasure on the backs of camels.

the envoys carry their riches on donkeys’(J) backs,
    their treasures(K) on the humps of camels,
to that unprofitable nation,
    to Egypt, whose help is utterly useless.(L)
Therefore I call her
    Rahab(M) the Do-Nothing.

For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.
