An oracle on the beasts of the Negeb.
Through a land of trouble and anguish,
    from where come the lioness and the lion,
    the viper and the flying serpent,
they carry their riches on the backs of asses,
    and their treasures on the humps of camels,
    to a people that cannot profit them.
For Egypt’s help is worthless and empty,
    therefore I have called her
    “Rahab who sits still.”

    and inscribe it in a book,
that it may be for the time to come
    as a witness for ever.
