Therefore I call her
Rahabd the Do-Nothing.

everyone comes to shame
through a people that cannot profit them,
that brings neither help nor profit,
but shame and disgrace.”
An oracle on the beasts of the Negeb.
Through a land of trouble and anguish,
from where come the lioness and the lion,
the adder and the flying 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.
Egypt’s help is worthless and empty;
therefore I have called her
“Rahab who sits still.”

everyone will be ashamed
because of a people who can’t help.
They are of no benefit, they are no help;
they are good for nothing but shame and disgrace.
A pronouncement concerning the animals of the Negev:
Through a land of trouble and distress,
of lioness and lion,
of viper and flying serpent,
they carry their wealth on the backs of donkeys
and their treasures on the humps of camels,
to a people who will not help them.
Egypt’s help is completely worthless;
therefore, I call her:
Rahab Who Just Sits.

NLTNew Living Translation
all who trust in him will be ashamed.
He will not help you.
Instead, he will disgrace you.”
This message came to me concerning the animals in the Negev:
The caravan moves slowly
across the terrible desert to Egypt—
donkeys weighed down with riches
and camels loaded with treasure—
all to pay for Egypt’s protection.
They travel through the wilderness,
a place of lionesses and lions,
a place where vipers and poisonous snakes live.
All this, and Egypt will give you nothing in return.
Egypt’s promises are worthless!
Therefore, I call her Rahab—
the Harmless Dragon.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Everyone will start to stink because of a people that cannot profit them,
not for help and not for profiting,
but for shame and also for disgrace.”
An oracle of the animals of the Negev:
Through a land of trouble and distress,
of lioness and lion,
among them are snake and flying serpent;
they carry their wealth on the backs of male donkeys
and their treasures on the humps of camels,
to a people that cannot profit them.
For Egyptians help with vanity and emptiness,
therefore I have called this one “Rahab, they are sitting.”

KJV 1900King James Version
They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them,
Nor be an help nor profit,
But a shame, and also a reproach.
The burden of the beasts of the south:
Into the land of trouble and anguish,
From whence come the young and old lion,
The viper and fiery flying serpent,
They will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses,
And their treasures upon the bunches of camels,
To a people that shall not profit them.
For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose:
Therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.
