31 Woe[a] to (A)those who go down to Egypt for help

    or consult the Lord!

Footnotes

  1. Isaiah 31:1 Or Ah,

The Egyptians are man, and not God,
    and their horses (A)are flesh, and not spirit.

    the helper will stumble, and he who is helped will fall,
    and they will all perish together.

and he shall flee from the sword,
    and his young men shall be (B)put to forced labor.
