ASV_Strong : Isaiah 31
1. Woe[H1945] to them that go down[H3381] to Egypt[H4714] for help[H5833], and rely[H8172] on horses[H5483], and trust[H982] in chariots[H7393] because they are many[H7227], and in horsemen[H6571] because they are very[H3966] strong[H6105], but they look[H8159] not unto the Holy One[H6918] of Israel[H3478], neither seek[H1875] Jehovah[H3068]!
2. Yet he also is wise[H2450], and will bring[H935] evil[H7451], and will not call back[H5493] his words[H1697], but will arise[H6965] against the house[H1004] of the evil-doers[H7489], and against the help[H5833] of them that work[H6466] iniquity[H205].
3. Now the Egyptians[H4714] are men[H120], and not God[H410]; and their horses[H5483] flesh[H1320], and not spirit[H7307]: and when Jehovah[H3068] shall stretch out[H5186] his hand[H3027], both he that helpeth[H5826] shall stumble[H3782], and he that is helped[H5826] shall fall[H5307], and they all shall be consumed[H3615] together[H3162].
4. For thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068] unto me[H738], As the lion and the young lion[H3715] growling[H1897] over his prey[H2964], if a multitude[H4393] of shepherds[H7462] be called forth[H7121] against him[H2865], will not be dismayed at their voice[H6963], nor abase[H6031] himself for the noise[H1995] of them[H3068]: so will Jehovah of hosts[H6635] come down[H3381] to fight[H6633] upon mount[H2022] Zion[H6726], and upon the hill thereof[H1389].
5. As birds[H6833] hovering[H5774], so will Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635] protect[H1598] Jerusalem[H3389]; he will protect[H1598] and deliver[H5337] it[H6452], he will pass over and preserve it[H4422].
6. Turn[H7725] ye unto him from whom ye have deeply[H6009] revolted[H5627], O children[H1121] of Israel[H3478].
7. For in that day[H3117] they shall cast away[H3988] every man[H376] his idols[H457] of silver[H3701], and his idols[H457] of gold[H2091], which your own hands[H3027] have made[H6213] unto you for a sin[H2399].
8. And the Assyrian[H804] shall fall[H5307] by the sword[H2719], not of man[H376]; and the sword[H2719], not of men[H120], shall devour[H398] him[H5127]; and he shall flee from[H6440] the sword[H2719], and his young men[H970] shall become subject to taskwork[H4522].
9. And his rock[H5553] shall pass away[H5674] by reason of terror[H4032], and his princes[H8269] shall be dismayed[H2865] at the ensign[H5251], saith[H5002] Jehovah[H3068], whose fire[H217] is in Zion[H6726], and his furnace[H8574] in Jerusalem[H3389].
