1. Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, who trust in horses and chariots, for they are many; and in horses, which are a great multitude; and have not trusted in the Holy One of Israel, and have not sought the Lord.
|
1. Woe H1945 to them that go down H3381 to Egypt H4714 for help H5833 ; and stay H8172 on H5921 horses H5483 , and trust H982 in H5921 chariots H7393 , because H3588 they are many H7227 ; and in H5921 horsemen H6571 , because H3588 they are very strong H6105 H3966 ; but they look H8159 not H3808 unto H5921 the Holy One H6918 of Israel H3478 , neither H3808 seek H1875 the LORD H3068 !

2. Therefore he has wisely brought evils upon them, and his word shall not be frustrated; and he shall rise up against the houses of wicked men, and against their vain hope,
|
2. Yet he H1931 also H1571 is wise H2450 , and will bring H935 evil H7451 , and will not H3808 call back H5493 his words H1697 : but will arise H6965 against H5921 the house H1004 of the evildoers H7489 , and against H5921 the help H5833 of them that work H6466 iniquity H205 .

|
3. even an Egyptian, a man, and not God; the flesh of horses, and there is no help in them: but the Lord shall bring his hand upon them, and the helpers shall fail, and all shall perish together.
|
3. Now the Egyptians H4714 are men H120 , and not H3808 God H410 ; and their horses H5483 flesh H1320 , and not H3808 spirit H7307 . When the LORD H3068 shall stretch out H5186 his hand H3027 , both he that helpeth H5826 shall fall H3782 , and he that is helped H5826 shall fall down H5307 , and they all H3605 shall fail H3615 together H3162 .

4. For thus said the Lord to me, As a lion would roar, or a lion’s whelp over prey which he has taken, and cry over it, until the mountains are filled with his voice, and the animals are awe-struck and tremble at the fierceness of his wrath: so the Lord of hosts shall descend to fight upon the mount Sion, even upon her mountains.
|
4. For H3588 thus H3541 hath the LORD H3068 spoken H559 unto H413 me , Like as H834 the lion H738 and the young lion H3715 roaring H1897 on H5921 his prey H2964 , when H834 a multitude H4393 of shepherds H7462 is called forth H7121 against H5921 him, he will not H3808 be afraid H2865 of their voice H4480 H6963 , nor H3808 abase H6031 himself for the noise H4480 H1995 of them: so H3651 shall the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 come down H3381 to fight H6633 for H5921 mount H2022 Zion H6726 , and for H5921 the hill H1389 thereof.

5. As birds flying, so shall the Lord of hosts defend; he shall defend Jerusalem, and he shall rescue, and save and deliver.
|
5. As birds H6833 flying H5774 , so H3651 will the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 defend H1598 H5921 Jerusalem H3389 ; defending H1598 also he will deliver H5337 it; and passing over H6452 he will preserve H4422 it.
|
|
6. Turn, ye children of Israel, who devise a deep and sinful counsel.
|
6. Turn H7725 ye unto him from whom H834 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 have deeply H6009 revolted H5627 .
|
|
7. For in that day men shall renounce their silver idols and their golden idols, which their hands made.
|
7. For H3588 in that H1931 day H3117 every man H376 shall cast away H3988 his idols H457 of silver H3701 , and his idols H457 of gold H2091 , which H834 your own hands H3027 have made H6213 unto you for a sin H2399 .

|
8. And the Assyrian shall fall: not the sword of a great man, nor the sword of a mean man shall devour him; neither shall he flee from the face of the sword: but the young men shall be overthrown:
|
8. Then shall the Assyrian H804 fall H5307 with the sword H2719 , not H3808 of a mighty man H376 ; and the sword H2719 , not H3808 of a mean man H120 , shall devour H398 him : but he shall flee H5127 from H4480 H6440 the sword H2719 , and his young men H970 shall be H1961 discomfited H4522 .
|
|
9. for they shall be compassed with rocks as with a trench, and shall be worsted; and he that flees shall be taken. Thus saith the Lord, Blessed is he that has a seed in Sion, and household friends in Jerusalem.
|
9. And he shall pass over H5674 to his stronghold H5553 for fear H4480 H4032 , and his princes H8269 shall be afraid H2865 of the ensign H4480 H5251 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , whose H834 fire H217 is in Zion H6726 , and his furnace H8574 in Jerusalem H3389 .
