Isa.|31:1|-|Woe to those who go down to |a|Egypt for help;They rely on horses
And trust in |b|chariots because they are manyAnd in horsemen because they are very strong;
But they do not look to the Holy One of Israel,Nor |c|seek Jehovah!
Isa.|31:2|-|But He also is wise and will bring ill upon them;And He does not turn back His words,
But will rise up against the house of evildoersAnd against the help of the workers of iniquity.
Isa.|31:3|-|The Egyptians are mere men and not God,And their horses are mere flesh and not spirit;
Thus Jehovah will stretch out His hand,And he who helps will stumble and he who is helped will fall,
And all of them will be consumed together.
Isa.|31:4|-|For Jehovah has spoken thus to me,As the lion or the lion cub
|a|Roars over its preyAnd because of it a crowd of shepherds
Is called out,But it is not frightened by their voice,
Nor overcome by their noise;So Jehovah of hosts will descend
To |b|wage war on Mount Zion and on its hill.
Isa.|31:5|-|Like flying birdsSo Jehovah of hosts will |a|protect Jerusalem;
He will protect and deliver it;He will pass over and rescue it.
Isa.|31:6|-|Return to Him from whom men have deeply revolted, O children of Israel.
Isa.|31:7|-|For in that day each man will cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold, which your hands have made for you as a sin.
Isa.|31:8|-|And the |a|Assyrian will fall by the sword not of a man,And the sword not of man will devour him.
Thus he will flee from a sword,And his young men will be forced into labor.
Isa.|31:9|-|And his rock will pass away in terror,And his princes will be dismayed by the standard,
Declares Jehovah, whose |a|fire is in ZionAnd whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
