But when she could hide him no longer, she got him a wicker basket and covered it over with tar and pitch. Then she put the child into it and set it among the reeds by the bank of the Nile.

“They slip by like reed boats,
Like an eagle that swoops on its prey.

Which sends envoys by the sea,
Even in papyrus vessels on the surface of the waters.

To a people feared far and wide,
A powerful and oppressive nation
Whose land the rivers divide.

“Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh?
Can the rushes grow without water?
“While it is still green and not cut down,
Yet it withers before any other plant.
“So are the paths of all who forget God;
And the hope of the godless will perish,

The scorched land will become a pool
And the thirsty ground springs of water;
In the haunt of jackals, its resting place,
Grass becomes reeds and rushes.
