Isaiah 31

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 Woe to those that go down to Egypt for help; and trust in horses and place their hope in chariots because <em>they are</em> many and in horsemen, because they are valiant, but they did not look unto the Holy One of Israel, neither did they seek the LORD!

2 Yet he also <em>is</em> wise to guide evil and will not cause his words to lie but will arise against the house of the evildoers and against the help of those that work iniquity.

3 Now the Egyptian is a man, and not God, and his horses flesh, and not spirit, so that as the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helps shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall down, and they shall all fail together.

4 For thus has the LORD spoken unto me, Like the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, even if a multitude of shepherds come forth against him, <em>he</em> will not be afraid of their voices, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of the hosts come down to fight for Mount Zion and for his hill.

5 As birds flying, so will the LORD of the hosts defend Jerusalem; defending, delivering, passing over, and saving <em>it</em>.

6 Turn ye unto him against whom <em>ye</em> have deeply revolted, O sons of Israel.

7 For in that day <em>every</em> man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you as a sin.

8 Then the Assyrian shall fall by the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the presence of the sword, and his young men shall faint.

9 And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the banner, saith the LORD, unto whom <em>there is</em> fire in Zion, and unto whom <em>there is a</em> furnace in Jerusalem.

New International Version NIV

1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses, who trust in the multitude of their chariots and in the great strength of their horsemen, but do not look to the Holy One of Israel, or seek help from the LORD.

2 Yet he too is wise and can bring disaster; he does not take back his words. He will rise up against that wicked nation, against those who help evildoers.

3 But the Egyptians are mere mortals and not God; their horses are flesh and not spirit. When the LORD stretches out his hand, those who help will stumble, those who are helped will fall; all will perish together.

4 This is what the LORD says to me: “As a lion growls, a great lion over its prey— and though a whole band of shepherds is called together against it, it is not frightened by their shouts or disturbed by their clamor— so the LORD Almighty will come down to do battle on Mount Zion and on its heights.

5 Like birds hovering overhead, the LORD Almighty will shield Jerusalem; he will shield it and deliver it, he will ‘pass over’ it and will rescue it.”

6 Return, you Israelites, to the One you have so greatly revolted against.

7 For in that day every one of you will reject the idols of silver and gold your sinful hands have made.

8 “Assyria will fall by no human sword; a sword, not of mortals, will devour them. They will flee before the sword and their young men will be put to forced labor.

9 Their stronghold will fall because of terror; at the sight of the battle standard their commanders will panic,” declares the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
