WoeH1945 to them that goH3381 downH3381 to EgyptH4714 for help;H5833 and stayH8172 onH5921 horses,H5483 and trustH982 in chariots,H7393 becauseH3588 they are many;H7227 and in horsemen,H6571 becauseH3588 they are veryH3966 strong;H6105 but they lookH8159 not to the HolyH6918 One of Israel,H3478 neitherH3808 seekH1875 the LORD!H3068
2
Yet he alsoH1571 is wise,H2450 and will bringH935 evil,H7451 and will not callH5493 backH5493 his words:H1697 but will ariseH6965 againstH5921 the houseH1004 of the evildoers,H7489 and againstH5921 the helpH5833 of them that workH6213 iniquity.H205
3
Now the EgyptiansH4714 are men,H120 and not God;H410 and their horsesH5483 flesh,H1320 and not spirit.H7307 When the LORDH3068 shall stretchH5186 out his hand,H3027 both he that helpsH5826 shall fall,H3782 and he that is helpedH5826 shall fallH5307 down, and they allH3605 shall failH3615 together.H3162

For thusH3541 has the LORDH3068 spokenH559 to me, Like as the lionH738 and the youngH3715 lionH3715 roaringH1897 onH5921 his prey,H2964 whenH834 a multitudeH4393 of shepherdsH7462 is calledH7121 forth againstH5921 him, he will not be afraidH2865 of their voice,H6963 norH3808 abaseH6031 himself for the noiseH1995 of them: soH3651 shall the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 comeH3381 downH3381 to fightH6633 for mountH2022 Zion,H6726 and for the hillH1389 thereof.

As birdsH6833 flying,H5774 soH3652 will the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 defendH1598 Jerusalem;H3389 defendingH1598 also he will deliverH5337 it; and passingH5674 over he will preserveH4422 it.
6
TurnH7725 you to him from whomH834 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 have deeplyH6009 revolted.H5627
7
For in that dayH3117 every manH376 shall castH3988 awayH3988 his idolsH457 of silver,H3701 and his idolsH457 of gold,H2091 whichH834 your own handsH3027 have madeH6213 to you for a sin.H2399
8
Then shall the AssyrianH804 fallH5307 with the sword,H2719 not of a mightyH376 man;H376 and the sword,H2719 not of a meanH120 man,H120 shall devourH398 him: but he shall fleeH5127 from the sword,H2719 and his youngH970 men shall be discomfited.H4522
9
And he shall passH5674 overH5674 to his strongH5553 holdH5553 for fear,H4032 and his princesH8269 shall be afraidH2865 of the ensign,H5251 saidH5002 the LORD,H3068 whoseH834 fireH217 is in Zion,H6726 and his furnaceH8574 in Jerusalem.H3389
