5For they have all come with offerings to a people of no use to them, in whom is no help or profit, but only shame and a bad name.
6The word about the Beasts of the South. Through the land of trouble and grief, the land of the she-lion and the voice of the lion, of the snake and the burning winged snake, they take their wealth on the backs of young asses, and their stores on camels, to a people in whom is no profit.
7For there is no use or purpose in the help of Egypt: so I have said about her, She is Rahab, who has come to an end.
8Now go, put it in writing before them on a board, and make a record of it in a book, so that it may be for the future, a witness for all time to come.
9For they are an uncontrolled people, false-hearted, who will not give ear to the teaching of the Lord:
10Who say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Do not give us word of what is true, but say false things to give us pleasure:
11Get out of the good way, turning from the right road; do not keep the Holy One of Israel before our minds.
