我們徒然等待幫助，等到雙目失去視力；我們在瞭望臺上期望一個不能拯救我們的國家來臨。

至於那差你們來求問耶和華的猶大王，你們要這樣對他說：耶和華以色列的神這樣說：有關你所聽見的話，

“請你替我們求問耶和華，因為巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒來攻擊我們；也許耶和華會為我們行奇事，使尼布甲尼撒離開我們回去。”

西底家王差派示利米雅的兒子猶甲和瑪西雅祭司的兒子西番雅，去見耶利米先知，說：“請你為我們向耶和華我們的神禱告。”

那些下埃及求幫助，倚靠馬匹，倚靠眾多戰車，依靠十分強壯的馬兵，卻不仰望以色列的聖者，也不求問耶和華的，有禍了！耶和華是智慧的，他必降下災禍，決不收回自己的話，卻要起來攻擊作惡者之家，又攻擊那些助人作孽的。埃及人是人，並不是神；他們的馬匹是血肉，並不是靈；耶和華一伸手，那幫助人的就絆倒，那受幫助的也必仆倒，並且一同滅亡。

敵人建造圍城的高牆，築起攻城土壘要剪除多人的時候，法老率領大軍和大隊人馬，還是不能幫助他作戰。

耶和華這樣說：“倚靠世人，恃憑肉體為自己的力量，心裡偏離耶和華的，這人該受咒詛。他必像沙漠中的灌木，福樂來到，他也必看不見，卻要住在曠野乾旱之地、無人居住的鹹地。

你為甚麼要東奔西跑，改變你的路向呢？你必因埃及蒙羞，像你從前因亞述受辱一樣。

埃及所有的居民就都知道我是耶和華。因為你作了以色列家蘆葦的杖。他們用手抓住你的時候，你就斷裂，傷了他們的肩頭；他們倚靠你，你就折斷、扭傷了他們的腰。

任何智慧、聰明、謀略都不能敵擋耶和華。

耶和華說：“這些悖逆的兒女有禍了！他們實行計謀，卻不是出於我的意思，他們結盟，卻不是出於我的靈，以致罪上加罪。他們起程下埃及去，並沒有求問我，卻要在法老的保護下，作避難處，投靠在埃及的蔭庇下。因此，法老的保護必成為你們的羞恥，投靠在埃及的蔭庇下，變成你們的恥辱。他們的領袖雖然已在瑣安，他們的使臣雖然已到達哈內斯，但他們都必因那對於他們毫無利益的人民而蒙羞，那人民帶來的不是幫助或益處，而是羞恥和凌辱。”以下是論南地野獸的默示：他們把財富馱在驢駒的背上，把寶物馱在駱駝的峰上，經過艱難困苦之地，就是公獅、母獅、蝮蛇和會飛的火蛇出沒的地方，到一個對他們毫無益處的民族那裡去。

埃及必不再作以色列家的倚靠；每逢以色列家轉去仰賴埃及人的時候，他們就想起自己的罪孽。這樣，他們就知道我是主耶和華。’”
