Jesaja 31
1
Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and lean on horses, and trust on chariotry, because it is great; and in horsemen because
they are very strong! But they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor seek Jehovah.
2 And He also is wise, and brings evil, and will not turn aside His Words, but
will rise against the house of evildoers, and against the help of those who
work iniquity. 3 And Egypt is a man, and not God. And their horses are flesh,
and not spirit. And Jehovah stretches out His hand, and both he who helps shall
fall, and he who is helped shall fall; and they shall all cease together. 4 For
so Jehovah has said to me: As the lion roars, even the young lion on his prey
when the multitude of shepherds are gathered against him, he will not fear
their voice, nor fret himself because of their noise. So Jehovah of Hosts shall
go down to fight on Mount Zion, and on its hill. 5 As birds that fly, so
Jehovah of Hosts will shield over Jerusalem; shielding and delivering, and
passing over, He will save it. 6 Turn back to Him against whom you have made a
deep revolt, sons of Israel. 7 For in that day each shall despise his silver
idols and his golden idols, which your hands have made for you; a sin. 8 Then
Assyria shall fall by a sword, not of man; yea, a sword, not of man, shall
devour him. For he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become
forced labor. 9 And his rock will pass away from fear; and his commanders shall
tremble at the banner, declares Jehovah, whose fire is in Zion, and His furnace
in Jerusalem.
