My brothers are as treacherous as a wadi,

as seasonal streams that overflow

the rivers flowing with honey and curds.

The dirt on his grave is[fn] sweet to him.

Everyone follows behind him,

and those who go before him are without number.

and consign your gold to the dust,

the gold of Ophir to the stones in the wadis,

He cuts a shaft far from human habitation,

in places unknown to those who walk above ground.

Suspended far away from people,

the miners swing back and forth.

They are living on the slopes of the wadis,

among the rocks and in holes in the ground.

Lotus plants cover him with their shade;

the willows by the brook surround him.

a flowing river, a fountain of wisdom.[fn]

As for the eye that ridicules a father

and despises obedience to a mother,

may ravens of the valley pluck it out

and young vultures eat it.

All the streams flow to the sea,

yet the sea is never full;

to the place where the streams flow,

there they flow again.

I came down to the walnut grove

to see the blossoms of the valley,

to see if the vines were budding

and the pomegranates blooming.

All of them will come and settle

in the steep ravines, in the clefts of the rocks,

in all the thornbushes, and in all the water holes.

The LORD will divide[fn][fn] the Gulf of Suez.[fn]

He will wave his hand over the Euphrates

with his mighty wind

and will split it into seven streams,

letting people walk through on foot.

So they carry their wealth and belongings

over the Wadi of the Willows.
