爾恃埃及、彼乃折葦之杖、人若賴之、必刺其手、凡恃埃及王法老者若是、

爾於埃及王、倚之若杖、不知彼猶已折之萑葦、按手其上、必為所刺、凡倚埃及王法老者亦若是、

爾恃伊及國乎、豈知彼猶已折之葦、人若倚其上、必刺入其手、凡恃伊及王法老者亦若是、

Look, I know you are depending on Egypt, that splintered reed of a staff, which pierces the hand of anyone who leans on it! Such is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who depend on him.

Look, I know you are depending on Egypt. Why are you doing that? Egypt is nothing but a broken papyrus stem. Try leaning on it. It will only cut your hand. Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, is just like that to everyone who depends on him.

『埃及一切的居民就知道我乃是永恆主，因為他們向以色列家成了蘆葦的扶杖。他們一抓住你，你就破裂，刺開了他們的手；他們靠着你，你就折斷，閃了他們的腰；

埃及人不過是人，並不是神；他們的馬不過是血肉，並不是靈；永恆主一伸手，那幫助人的就絆跌，那受幫助的也必跌倒，二者就同歸於盡。

法老的軍隊已經從埃及出來；那圍困耶路撒冷的迦勒底人聽見了這風聲，就拔營離開耶路撒冷而去。那時永恆主的話傳與神言人耶利米說：『永恆主以色列之上帝這麼說：猶大王打發了你們來求問我，你們要對他這麼說：「看吧，法老的軍隊、那出來幫助你們的，必回埃及它本地去。迦勒底人必再來攻擊這城；將城攻取，放火焚燒。

何細亞反叛了，差遣使者去見埃及王西威、卻不照年年所行的、給亞述王獻上貢物；亞述王發覺了，就捉拿他，鎖禁在監獄裏。

永恆主發神諭說：『有禍啊，這些悖逆的兒女！設下計謀，卻不由於我！奠酒結盟，卻不由於我的靈，以致罪上加罪！他們起身下埃及去，並沒有求問我的許可，就要在法老的保護下去逃難，在埃及的蔭庇下去躲避！故此法老的保護必變為你們的慚愧，躲避於埃及的蔭庇下必成為你們的恥辱。因為他的首領雖已在瑣安，他的使者雖抵達了哈內斯，但他們都必因無益的族民而慚愧；那族民帶來的並不是幫助，也不是益處，只是慚愧與羞辱而已。』他們用南地的牲畜馱財物，經過艱難困苦之地，有公獅、母獅、蝮蛇和能飛的火蛇之地，把資財馱在驢駒的脊背上，將寶物馱在駱駝的肉鞍上，到無益的族民那裏去。因為埃及的幫助是徒然而空洞的；故此我稱牠為「坐而不動的拉哈伯」。

以色列人必因他們所仰望的古實、他們所炫耀的埃及、而驚慌失望。當那日子、這沿海一帶的居民必說：「看哪，我們素來所仰望的，我們為要蒙援救、逃離亞述王、才逃去求救助的，尚且落到這樣的下場，何況我們呢、又怎能逃脫呢？」』

現在你看，你倚靠這壓傷的蘆葦扶杖、埃及；人若靠它，這東西就刺進他的手，把它刺透。埃及王法老對一切倚靠他的人就是這樣。
