Isaiah 31

The Egyptians are No Help

1Ah! Those who go down to Egypt for help!

They rely on horses

and trust in chariots because they are many,

and they do not look to the holy one of Israel,

2And indeed, he is wise, and he brings disaster,

and he will rise against the house of evildoers

3And the Egyptians are human and not God,

And Yahweh stretches out his hand,

and the one being helped will fall,

4For Yahweh said this to me:

“As which a lion growls

when a full group of shepherds is called against him,

it is not terrified by their voice,

so Yahweh of hosts will come down to fight upon Mount Zion

5Like birds flying overhead, so Yahweh of hosts will protect Jerusalem;

he will protect and deliver it;

6Turn back to the one against whom the sons of Israel have made deep rebellion.

7For on that day, each one will reject his idols of silver

8And Assyria shall fall by a sword not of a man,

and he shall flee from the sword,

9And his rock will pass over because of terror,

who has a fire in Zion
