6An coracle on dthe beasts of ethe Negeb.
Through a land of trouble and anguish,
from where come the lioness and the lion,
the adder and the fflying 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.
7Egypt’s ghelp is worthless and empty;
therefore I have called her
h“Rahab who sits still.”
Jeremiah 37:5-10
5 iThe army of Pharaoh had come out of Egypt. And when jthe Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news about them, kthey withdrew from Jerusalem.6Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet: 7“Thus says the Lord, God of Israel: Thus shall you say to the king of Judah who lsent you to me to inquire of me, ‘Behold, mPharaoh’s army that came to help you is about to nreturn to Egypt, to its own land. 8And othe Chaldeans shall come back and fight against this city. pThey shall capture it and burn it with fire. 9Thus says the Lord, Do not deceive yourselves, saying, “The Chaldeans will surely go away from us,” for they will not go away. 10 qFor even if you should defeat the whole army of Chaldeans who are fighting against you, and there remained of them only wounded men, every man in his tent, they would rise up and rburn this city with fire.’”
