³ What will you do on the day of reckoning,^(A)
    when disaster^(B) comes from afar?
To whom will you run for help?^(C)
    Where will you leave your riches?

Through a land of hardship and distress,^(G)
    of lions^(H) and lionesses,
    of adders and darting snakes,^(I)
the envoys carry their riches on donkeys’^(J) backs,
    their treasures^(K) on the humps of camels,
to that unprofitable nation,
⁷     to Egypt, whose help is utterly useless.^(L)
Therefore I call her
    Rahab^(M) the Do-Nothing.
