Isa 31
1 The Vanity of Relying upon Egypt
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].
2And 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] --
3an 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.
4For 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.
5As birds flying, so shall [
3shield
1the LORD 2of Hosts] above Jerusalem; and he shall rescue and shall protect and shall deliver.
6Turn! O ones [
2deep
5counsel
1consulting
3and
4lawless], O sons of Israel.
7For 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].
8 The Fall of Assyria
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;
9for 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.
