Isaiah 31:1-5 Woe to those going down to Egypt for help! On horses are they leaning, and trusting in chariots, for they are many, and on horsemen, for they are very staunch. And they do not heed the Holy One of Israel, and of Yahweh Elohim they do not inquire."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Woe to those going down to Egypt for help! On horses are they leaning, and trusting in chariots, for they are many, and on horsemen, for they are very staunch. And they do not heed the Holy One of Israel, and of Yahweh Elohim they do not inquire." ² Yet, moreover, He is wise, and will bring evil, and His words He does not take away, and He rises against the house of the evil doers, and against the help of the contrivers of lawlessness." ³ Yet Egyptians are human and not the El, and their horses are flesh, and not spirit. When Yahweh is stretching out His hand, then the helper falters; and he who is helped falls. And, together, all of them will be finished." ⁴ For thus says Yahweh to me, "As snarling is the lion and the sheltered lion over its prey, when calling against it are a full number of graziers, by their voice it is not being dismayed, and by their throng it is not being humbled, so will Yahweh of hosts descend to muster on mount Zion, and on its hill." ⁵ As birds flying, so will Yahweh of hosts protect Jerusalem. Protecting, He will also rescue, and skipping over, He will also make an escape."
