Warning Against Alliance With Egypt

4 Your rulers have been at Zoan, and your messengers came unto Hanes. 5 They were all ashamed of the people that could do them no good, and that might not help them, nor show them any profit - but were their confusion and rebuke." 6 Your beasts have born burdens upon their backs toward the South, through the way that is full of peril and trouble, because of the lion and lioness; of the Cockatrice and shooting dragon. Yea the Mules bare your substance, and the Camels brought your treasure, upon their crooked backs, unto a people that cannot help you.
