[1]WoeH1945 to them that go downH3381[H8802] to EgyptH4714 for helpH5833; and stayH8172[H8735] on horsesH5483, and trustH982[H8799] in chariotsH7393, because they are manyH7227; and in horsemenH6571, because they are veryH3966 strongH6105[H8804]; but they lookH8159[H8804] not unto the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, neither seekH1875[H8804] the LORDH3068!
[2]Yet he also is wiseH2450, and will bringH935[H8686] evilH7451, and will not call backH5493[H8689] his wordsH1697: but will ariseH6965[H8804] against the houseH1004 of the evildoersH7489[H8688], and against the helpH5833 of them that workH6466[H8802] iniquityH205.
[3]Now the EgyptiansH4714 are menH120, and not GodH410; and their horsesH5483 fleshH1320, and not spiritH7307. When the LORDH3068 shall stretch outH5186[H8686] his handH3027, both he that helpethH5826[H8802] shall fallH3782[H8804], and he that is holpenH5826[H8803] shall fall downH5307[H8804], and they all shall failH3615[H8799] togetherH3162.
[4]For thus hath the LORDH3068 spokenH559[H8804] unto me, Like as the lionH738 and the young lionH3715 roaringH1897[H8799] on his preyH2964, when a multitudeH4393 of shepherdsH7462[H8802] is called forthH7121[H8735] against him, he will not be afraidH2865[H8735] of their voiceH6963, nor abaseH6031[H8799] himself for the noiseH1995 of them: so shall the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 come downH3381[H8799] to fightH6633[H8800] for mountH2022 ZionH6726, and for the hill thereofH1389.
[5]As birdsH6833 flyingH5774[H8802], so will the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 defendH1598[H8686] JerusalemH3389; defendingH1598[H8800] also he will deliverH5337[H8689] it; and passing overH6452[H8800] he will preserveH4422 itH8689.
[6]TurnH7725[H8798] ye unto him from whom the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 have deeplyH6009[H8689] revoltedH5627.
[7]For in that dayH3117 every manH376 shall cast awayH3988[H8799] his idolsH457 of silverH3701, and his idolsH457 of goldH2091, which your own handsH3027 have madeH6213[H8804] unto you for a sinH2399.
[8]Then shall the AssyrianH804 fallH5307[H8804] with the swordH2719, not of a mighty manH376; and the swordH2719, not of a mean manH120, shall devourH398[H8799] him: but he shall fleeH5127[H8804] fromH6440 the swordH2719, and his young menH970 shall be discomfitedH4522.
[9]And he shall pass overH5674[H8799] to his strong holdH5553 for fearH4032, and his princesH8269 shall be afraidH2865[H8804] of the ensignH5251, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, whose fireH217 is in ZionH6726, and his furnaceH8574 in JerusalemH3389.
