ISA-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!

ISA-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.

ISA-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 helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen

shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.

ISA-31:4 For thus hath the LORD spoken unto 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

shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and

for the hill thereof.

ISA-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.

ISA-31:6 Turn ye unto [him from] whom the children of Israel

have deeply revolted.

ISA-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.

ISA-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

discomfited.

ISA-31:9 And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and

his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose

fire [is] in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem. 1
