But the people of Judah will be put to shame.
    That’s because they are trusting in a nation that is useless to them.
Egypt will not bring them any help or advantage.
    Instead, it will bring them shame and dishonor.”

Here is a prophecy the Lord gave me about the animals in the Negev Desert.

Judah’s messengers carry their riches on the backs of donkeys.
    They carry their treasures on the humps of camels.
    They travel through a land of danger and suffering.
It’s a land filled with lions.
    Poisonous snakes are also there.
The messengers travel to a nation
    that can’t do them any good.
They travel to Egypt, whose help is totally useless.
    That’s why I call it Rahab the Do-Nothing.
