Alliance with Egypt Is Futile

31Alas for those who go down to Egypt for help and who rely on horses, who trust in chariots because they are many and in horsemen because they are very strong, but do not look to the Holy One of Israel or consult the LORD!H1945H3381H4714H5833H8172H5483H982H7393H7227H6571H3966H6105H8159H6918H3478H1875H3068 2Yet he too is wise and brings disaster; he does not call back his words, but will rise against the house of the evildoers, and against the helpers of those who work iniquity.H2450H935H7451H5493H1697H6965H1004H7489H5833H6466H205 3The Egyptians are human, and not God; their horses are flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD stretches out his hand, the helper will stumble, and the one helped will fall, and they will all perish together.H4714H120H410H5483H1320H7307H3068H5186H3027H5826H3782H5826H5307H3615H3162 4For thus the LORD said to me, As a lion or a young lion growls over its prey, and—when a band of shepherds is called out against it—is not terrified by their shouting or daunted at their noise, so the LORD of hosts will come down to fight upon Mount Zion and upon its hill.H3068H559H738H3715H1897H2964H4393H7462H7121H2865H6963H6031H1995H3068H6635H3381H6633H2022H6726H1389 5Like birds hovering overhead, so the LORD of hosts will protect Jerusalem; he will protect and deliver it, he will spare and rescue it.H6833H5774H3068H6635H1598H3389H1598H5337H6452H4422 6Turn back to him whom you have deeply betrayed, O people of Israel.H7725H1121H3478H6009H5627 7For on that day all of you shall throw away your idols of silver and idols of gold, which your hands have sinfully made for you.H3117H376H3988H457H3701H457H2091H3027H6213H2399 8"Then the Assyrian shall fall by a sword, not of mortals; and a sword, not of humans, shall devour him; he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be put to forced labor.H804H5307H2719H376H2719H120H398H5127H6440H2719H970H4522 9His rock shall pass away in terror, and his officers desert the standard in panic," says the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.H5674H5553H4032H8269H2865H5251H5002H3068H217H6726H8574H3389
