Through a land of trouble and anguish,
    from where come the lioness and the lion,
    the adder and the ^(D)flying fiery serpent,
they carry their riches on the backs of donkeys,
    and their treasures on the humps of camels,
    to a people that cannot profit them.

²² “She makes ^(A)a sound like a serpent gliding away;
    for her enemies march in force
and come against her with axes
    ^(B)like those who fell trees.
