Isaiah 31:1-5

1WoeH1945 to those who go downH3381 to EgyptH4714 for helpH5833, who relyH8172 onH5921 horsesH5483, who trustH982 inH5921 their abundanceH7227 of chariotsH7393 H3588 and inH5921 their multitudeH3966 H6105 of horsemenH6571 H3588. They do notH3808 lookH8159 toH5921 the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478 ; they do notH3808 seekH1875 the LORDH3068.2YetH1931 He tooH1571 is wiseH2450 and bringsH935 disasterH7451 ; He does notH3808 call backH5493 His wordsH1697. He will rise upH6965 againstH5921 the houseH1004 of the wickedH7489 and againstH5921 the alliesH5833 of evildoersH6466 H205.3But the EgyptiansH4714 are menH120, notH3808 GodH410; their horsesH5483 are fleshH1320, notH3808 spiritH7307. When the LORDH3068 stretches outH5186 His handH3027, the helperH5826 will stumbleH3782, and the one he helpsH5826 will fallH5307; bothH3605 will perishH3615 togetherH3162.

4ForH3588 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 has saidH559 to meH413:

“LikeH834 a lionH738 roaringH1897or a young lionH3715 overH5921 its preyH2964—and thoughH834 a bandH4393 of shepherdsH7462 is called outH7121 against itH5921,it is notH3808 terrifiedH2865 by their shoutingH6963or subduedH6031 by their clamorH1995 H3808—soH3651 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 will come downH3381to do battleH6633 onH5921 MountH2022 ZionH6726 and its heightsH1389.5Like birdsH6833 hovering overheadH5774,soH3651 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 H5921 will protectH1598 JerusalemH3389.He will shield itH1598 and deliver itH5337;He will pass over itH6452 and preserve itH4422.”
