Isaiah 31
31
Woe to Those Who Trust Egypt
1#Ps 20:7; Dt 17:16 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help,
and rely on horses,
and trust in chariots because they are many,
and in horsemen because they are very strong,
but they do not look to the Holy One of Israel
nor seek the Lord!
2#Nu 23:19; Isa 45:7 Yet He also is wise and will bring disaster
and will not call back His words,
but will arise against the house of the evildoers
and against the help of those who work iniquity.
3#Isa 9:17; Eze 28:9 Now the Egyptians are men and not God;
and their horses flesh and not spirit.
When the Lord shall stretch out His hand,
both he who helps shall fall
and he who is helped shall fall down,
and they all shall fail together.
4#Am 3:8; Isa 42:13; Hos 11:10For thus the Lord has spoken to me:
Like the lion, and the young lion,
roars over his prey,
against which a multitude of shepherds
is called out against him,
he will not be afraid of their voice,
nor disturbed at their noise,
so shall the Lord of Hosts come down
to fight for Mount Zion, and for its hill.
5#Ps 91:4; Dt 32:11 Like flying birds,
so the Lord of Hosts will defend Jerusalem.
He will defend and deliver it;
He will pass over and preserve it.
6#Isa 55:7; Jer 3:10Turn to Him whom you have deeply betrayed, O sons of Israel. 7#Isa 2:20; 30:22For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold which your own hands have made for you as a sin.
8#Isa 14:25; Ge 49:15 “Then the Assyrian shall fall by the sword that is not of man,
and the sword not of man shall devour him.
So he shall not escape the sword,
and his young men shall become forced laborers.
9#Dt 32:31; Isa 18:3 He shall cross over to his stronghold for fear,
and his princes shall be afraid of the banner,”
says the Lord,
whose fire is in Zion,
and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
