An (A)oracle on (B)the beasts of (C)the Negeb.

Through a land of trouble and anguish,
    from where come the lioness and the lion,
    the adder and the (D)flying fiery serpent,
they carry their riches on the backs of donkeys,
    and their treasures on the humps of camels,
    to a people that cannot profit them.
Egypt's (E)help is worthless and empty;
    therefore I have called her
    (F)“Rahab who sits still.”

A Rebellious People

And now, go, (G)write it before them on a tablet
    and inscribe it in a book,
that it may be for the time to come
    as a witness forever.[a]
