“埃及所有的居民必定知道我是耶和华。因为你已成为以色列家芦苇的杖；他们用手掌一握，你就断裂，伤了他们的肩；他们靠着你，你却折断，闪了他们的腰。

埃及人不过是人，并非神，他们的马不过是血肉，并不是灵。耶和华一伸手，那帮助人的必绊跌，受帮助的也必跌倒，都一同灭亡。

法老的军队已经从埃及出来，那围困耶路撒冷的迦勒底人听见这风声，就拔营离开耶路撒冷去了。耶和华的话临到耶利米先知，说：“耶和华—以色列的神如此说：你们要对派你们来求问我的犹大王如此说：‘看哪，那出来帮助你们的法老军队必回埃及本国去。迦勒底人必再来攻打这城，并要攻下，用火焚烧。

何细亚背叛，派使者到埃及王梭那里，不照往年所行的向亚述王进贡。亚述王知道了，就逮捕他，把他囚在监里。

耶和华说：“祸哉！这悖逆的儿女。他们同谋，却不出于我，结盟，却不出于我的灵，以致罪上加罪。他们没有寻求我的指示，就起身下埃及去，要倚靠法老的庇护坚固自己，并投在埃及的荫下。但法老的庇护反成为你们的羞辱；你们投在埃及荫下，反使你们惭愧。他们的领袖已在琐安，他们的使臣到了哈内斯。他们必因那无益于他们的民蒙羞；那民并非帮助，也非有益，只带来羞耻和凌辱。”论尼革夫牲畜的默示。他们将财物驮在驴背上，将宝物驮在骆驼的背脊，经过艰难困苦之地，就是母狮、公狮、毒蛇、飞蛇之地，往那无益于他们的民那里去。埃及的帮助是徒然的，因此，我称它为“毫不中用的拉哈伯”。

以色列人必惊惶羞愧，因为他们仰望古实，以埃及为荣。“那时，沿海一带的居民必说：‘看哪，我们素来所仰望的，就是为躲避亚述王所逃往求救的，不过如此！我们怎能逃脱呢？’”

现在，看哪，你自己所倚靠的埃及是那断裂的苇杖，人若倚靠这杖，它就刺进他的手，穿透它。埃及王法老向所有倚靠他的人都是这样。
