我們的眼目徒然仰望幫助，以致失明，我們從瞭望臺所守望的，竟是一個不能救人的國！

然而，派你們來求問耶和華的猶大王，你們要這樣回覆他：『耶和華－以色列的神如此說：至於你所聽見的話，

「請你為我們求問耶和華，因為巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒前來攻擊我們；或者耶和華照他一切奇妙的作為待我們，使巴比倫王離開我們而去。」

西底家王派示利米雅的兒子猶甲和瑪西雅的兒子西番雅祭司，去見耶利米先知，說：「求你為我們祈求耶和華－我們的神。」

禍哉！那些下埃及求幫助的，他們仰賴馬匹，倚靠甚多的戰車，並倚靠強壯的騎兵，卻不仰望以色列的聖者，也不求問耶和華。其實，耶和華有智慧，他降災禍，並不撤回自己的話，卻要興起攻擊作惡之家，攻擊那幫助人作惡的。埃及人不過是人，並非神，他們的馬不過是血肉，並不是靈。耶和華一伸手，那幫助人的必絆跌，受幫助的也必跌倒，都一同滅亡。

當敵人建土堆，築堡壘，要殲滅許多人時，法老雖有強大軍隊和大批人馬，在戰場上還是不能幫助他。

耶和華如此說：「倚靠人，以血肉為膀臂，心中離棄耶和華的，那人該受詛咒！他必像沙漠裏的矮樹，不見福樂來到；他要住在曠野乾旱之處，無人居住的鹽地。

你為何東奔西跑改變你的道路呢？你必因埃及蒙羞，像從前因亞述蒙羞一樣。

「埃及所有的居民必定知道我是耶和華。因為你已成為以色列家蘆葦的杖；他們用手掌一握，你就斷裂，傷了他們的肩；他們靠着你，你卻折斷，閃了他們的腰。

沒有人能以智慧、聰明、謀略抵擋耶和華。

耶和華說：「禍哉！這悖逆的兒女。他們同謀，卻不出於我，結盟，卻不出於我的靈，以致罪上加罪。他們沒有尋求我的指示，就起身下埃及去，要倚靠法老的庇護堅固自己，並投在埃及的蔭下。但法老的庇護反成為你們的羞辱；你們投在埃及蔭下，反使你們慚愧。他們的領袖已在瑣安，他們的使臣到了哈內斯。他們必因那無益於他們的民蒙羞；那民並非幫助，也非有益，只帶來羞恥和凌辱。」論尼革夫牲畜的默示。他們將財物馱在驢背上，將寶物馱在駱駝的背脊，經過艱難困苦之地，就是母獅、公獅、毒蛇、飛蛇之地，往那無益於他們的民那裏去。

埃及必不再作以色列家的倚靠，卻使以色列家想起他們仰賴埃及的罪。他們就知道我是主耶和華。」
