God’s Message to Judah
6 This is a ·message [prophecy; oracle; burden] about the ·animals [beasts] in ·southern Judah [the South; L the Negev]:
·Southern Judah is a dangerous place [L Though a land of trouble and distress]
full of lions and lionesses,
·poisonous snakes [adders] and ·darting [or flying, fiery] ·snakes [serpents].
·The messengers travel through there with their wealth [L They carry their riches] on the backs of donkeys
and their treasure on the ·backs [humps] of camels.
They carry them to a nation that cannot help them,
7 to Egypt whose help is ·useless [L worthless and futile].
So I call that country Rahab [C mythical sea monster symbolic of chaos; 51:9; Ps. 89:10] the ·Do-Nothing [Harmless; Silenced].
8 Now write this on a ·sign [tablet] for the people,
·write this [inscribe it] on a scroll,
so that for the days to come
this will be a witness forever.

6 A prophecy(A) concerning the animals of the Negev:(B)
Through a land of hardship and distress,(C)
of lions(D) and lionesses,

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