Isaiah 31:1 - 31:3

Woe to Those Who Go down to Egypt

Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help
And rely on horses,
And trust in chariots because they are many
And in horsemen because they are very mighty,
But they do not regard at the Holy One of Israel, nor seek Yahweh!
2
Yet He also is wise and will bring about an evil demise
And does not turn His words aside,
But will arise against the house of evildoers
And against the help of the workers of iniquity.
3
Now the Egyptians are men and not God,
And their horses are flesh and not spirit;
So Yahweh will stretch out His hand,
And he who helps will stumble,
And he who is helped will fall,
And all of them will come to an end together.
