Isaiah 31:1-5
1WoeH1945 to those who goH3381 downH3381 to 1EgyptH4714 for helpH5833 And 2relyH8172 on horsesH5483, And trustH982 in chariotsH7393 becauseH3588 they are manyH7227 And in horsemenH6571 becauseH3588 they are veryH3966 strongH6105, But they do not 3lookH8159 to the 4HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, norH3808 seekH1875 the LordH3068!2Yet He alsoH1571 is 5wiseH2450 and will 6bringH935 disasterH7451 And does 7not retractH5493 His wordsH1697, But will ariseH6965 againstH5921 the houseH1004 of 8evildoersH7489 And againstH5921 the helpH5833 of the 9workersH6466 of iniquityH205.3Now the EgyptiansH4714 are 10menH120 and not GodH410, And their 11horsesH5483 are fleshH1320 and not spiritH7307; So the LordH3068 will 12stretchH5186 out His handH3027, And 13he who helpsH5826 will stumbleH3782 And he who is helpedH5826 will fallH5307, And allH3605 of them will comeH3615 to an endH3615 togetherH3164.
4For thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 to me, “As the 14lionH743 or the youngH3715 lionH3715 growlsH1897 overH5921 his preyH2964, AgainstH5921 whichH834 a bandH4393 of shepherdsH7462 is calledH7121 out, And he will not be terrifiedH2865 at their voiceH6963 norH3808 disturbedH6031 at their noiseH1995, SoH3651 will the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 comeH3381 downH3381 to wageH6633 15warH6633 on MountH2022 ZionH6726 and on its hillH1389.”5Like 16flyingH5774 17birdsH6833 soH3651 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 will protectH1598 JerusalemH3389. He will 18protectH1598 and deliverH5337 it; He will passH6452 overH6452 and rescueH4422 it.
