ISAIAH ยท Chapter 31
31:1 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 unto the Holy One of Israel, neither
seek the LORD!
31:2 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.
31:3 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 that
helps shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall down, and they all shall
fail together.
31:4 For thus has the LORD spoken unto me, Like 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 bring low himself
for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for
mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.
31:5 As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending
also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.
31:6 Turn all of you unto him from whom the children of Israel have
deeply revolted.
31:7 For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver,
and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.
31:8 Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man;
and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from
the sword, and his young men shall be humiliated.
31:9 And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes
shall be afraid of the explicit sign, says the LORD, whose fire is in Zion,
and his furnace in Jerusalem.
