⁴ For though his officials are at Zoan
    and his envoys reach Hanes,
⁵ everyone comes to shame
    through a people that cannot profit them,
that brings neither help nor profit,
    but shame and disgrace.

Through a land of trouble and distress,
    of lioness and roaring^[a] lion,
    of viper and flying 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.
