Isa 31 | ABEn | STEP | Woe to the ones going down into Egypt for help; the ones [ 2 upon 3 horses 1 relying], and upon chariots, for they are many; and relying upon [ 3 horses 2 many 1 exceedingly]. And they did not hearken relying upon the holy one of Israel, and [ 3 God 1 they did not 2 seek].

‏ Isaiah 31

CHAPTER 31 The Vanity of Relying upon Egypt

1 Woe to the ones going down into Egypt for help; the ones [²upon ³horses ¹relying], and upon chariots, for they are many; and relying upon [³horses ²many ¹exceedingly]. And they did not hearken relying upon the holy one of Israel, and [³God ¹they did not ²seek]. 2 And he wisely brought upon them bad things, and his word in no way shall be annulled. And he shall rise up against the houses [²men ¹of wicked], and against [³hope ¹their ²vain] -- 3 an Egyptian man, and not God. Their horses are flesh and not help; but the lord shall bring his hand against them, and [³shall tire ¹the ones ²helping], and together all will perish. 4 For thus said the lord to me, In which manner whenever [⁶should yell out ¹the ²lion ³or ⁴the ⁵cub] over the game which he took, and shall cry out over it, until whenever [³should be filled up ¹the ²mountains] of his voice, and the prey are vanquished, and by the magnitude of rage they are scared; so [³shall go down ¹the lord ²of Hosts] to march upon mount Zion, upon her mountains. 5 As birds flying, so shall [³shield ¹the lord ²of Hosts] above Jerusalem; and he shall rescue and shall protect and shall deliver. 6 Turn! O ones [²deep ⁵counsel ¹consulting ³and ⁴lawless], O sons of Israel. 7 For in that day [²shall totally reject ¹men] the idols made by their hands -- the things made of silver, and the things of gold, which [²made ¹their hands].

The Fall of Assyria

8 And Assyria shall fall; not by the sword of man, nor [²the sword ³of man ¹shall] devour him; and he will not flee from in front of the sword; but the young men shall be for vanquishing; 9 for as a rock, they shall be taken hold of as for a siege mound, and shall be vanquished; but the one fleeing shall be captured; thus says the lord, Blessed is the one who has [²in ³Zion ¹a seed], and members of a family in Jerusalem.
