Woe to Those Who Go Down to Egypt

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

    and in horsemen because they are very strong,
but (C)do not look to the Holy One of Israel
    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.
When the Lord stretches out his hand,
    the helper will stumble, and he who is helped will fall,
    and they will all perish together.

    and a sword, not of man, shall devour him;
and he shall flee from the sword,
    and his young men shall be (B)put to forced labor.
