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 strong, But they do not
look to the
Holy One of
Israel,
nor seek the
LORD!

Yet He
also is
wise and will
bring disaster And does not
retract His
words, But will
arise against the
house of
evildoers And
against the
help of the
workers of
iniquity.

Now the
Egyptians are
men and not
God, And their
horses are
flesh and not
spirit; So the
LORD 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.

For
thus says the
LORD to me, "As the
lion or the
young lion growls over his
prey,
Against which a
band of
shepherds is
called out, And he will not be
terrified at their
voice nor disturbed at their
noise,
So will the
LORD of
hosts come down to
wage war on
Mount Zion and on its
hill."

Like
flying birds so the
LORD of
hosts will
protect Jerusalem. He will
protect and
deliver it; He will
pass over and
rescue it.

whom you have
deeply defected, O

For in that

which your sinful

And the
Assyrian will
fall by a
sword not of
man, And a
sword not of

devour him. So he will not
escape the
sword, And his
young men will
become forced laborers.

"His
rock will
pass away because of
panic, And his
princes will be
terrified at the
standard,"
Declares the
LORD,
whose fire is in
Zion and whose
furnace is in
Jerusalem.
