7 Egypt’s help is worthless and empty;

therefore I have called her

“Rahab who sits still.”

7 For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose:

Therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.

7 Egypt’s promises are worthless!

Therefore, I call her Rahab—

the Harmless Dragon.

7 For the Egyptians shall help in vain and to no purpose.

Therefore I have called her

Rahab-Hem-Shebeth.

7 to Egypt whose help is useless.

So I call that country Rahab the Do-Nothing.

7 For Egypt helpeth in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I called her Rahab that sitteth still.

7 For Egypt shall help in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I named her, Arrogance, that doeth nothing.

7 Egypt’s help is completely useless. 

That is why I call it, ‘Rahabwho sits still.’ 

7 Egypt’s help is completely worthless;

therefore, I call her:

Rahab Who Just Sits.

7 For Egypt’s help is worthless and empty,

therefore I have called her,

“Rahab who sits still.”

7 For Egyptians help with vanity and emptiness,

therefore I have called this one “Rahab, they are sitting.”

7 They travel to Egypt, whose help is totally useless.

That’s why I call it Rahab the Do-Nothing.

7 Even Egypt, whose help is vain and empty.

Therefore, I have called her

“Rahab who has been exterminated.”
