1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because [they are] many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not to the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD [Yahweh]!
2 Yet he also [is] wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.
3 Now the Egyptians [are] men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD [Yahweh] will stretch out his hand, both he that helps will fall, and he that is helped will fall down, and they all will fail together.
4 For thus has the LORD [Yahweh] spoken to me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, [he] will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so will the LORD [Yahweh] of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill of it.
5 As birds flying, so will the LORD [Yahweh] of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver [it; and] passing over he will preserve it.
6 Turn you to [him from] whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.
7 For in that day every man will cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made to you [for] a sin.
8 Then will the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, will devour him: but he will flee from the sword, and his young men will be discomfited.
9 And he will pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes will be afraid of the ensign, says the LORD [Yahweh], whose fire [is] in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
