WoeH1945 to them that go downH3381 to EgyptH4714 for helpH5833; and stayH8172 on horsesH5483, and trustH982 in chariotsH7393, because they are manyH7227; and in horsemenH6571, because they are veryH3966 strongH6105; but they lookH8159 not unto the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, neither seekH1875 the LORDH3068!
Yet he also is wiseH2450, and will bringH935 evilH7451, and will not call backH5493 his wordsH1697: but will ariseH6965 against the houseH1004 of the evildoersH7489, and against the helpH5833 of them that workH6466 iniquityH205. {call…: Heb. remove}
Now the EgyptiansH4714 are menH120, and not GodH410; and their horsesH5483 fleshH1320, and not spiritH7307. When the LORDH3068 shall stretch outH5186 his handH3027, both he that helpethH5826 shall fallH3782, and he that is holpenH5826 shall fall downH5307, and they all shall failH3615 togetherH3162.
For thus hath the LORDH3068 spokenH559 unto me, Like as the lionH738 and the young lionH3715 roaringH1897 on his preyH2964, when a multitudeH4393 of shepherdsH7462 is called forthH7121 against him, he will not be afraidH2865 of their voiceH6963, nor abaseH6031 himself for the noiseH1995 of them: so shall the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 come downH3381 to fightH6633 for mountH2022 ZionH6726, and for the hillH1389 thereof. {noise: or, multitude}
As birdsH6833 flyingH5774, so will the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 defendH1598 JerusalemH3389; defendingH1598 also he will deliverH5337 it; and passing overH6452 he will preserveH4422 it.
TurnH7725 ye unto him from whom the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 have deeplyH6009 revoltedH5627.

Then shall the AssyrianH804 fallH5307 with the swordH2719, not of a mighty manH376; and the swordH2719, not of a mean manH120, shall devourH398 him: but he shall fleeH5127 fromH6440 the swordH2719, and his young menH970 shall be discomfitedH4522. {from: or, for fear of} {discomfited: or, tributary: Heb. for melting, or, tribute}
And he shall pass overH5674 to his strong holdH5553 for fearH4032, and his princesH8269 shall be afraidH2865 of the ensignH5251, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, whose fireH217 is in ZionH6726, and his furnaceH8574 in JerusalemH3389. {he…: Heb. his rock shall pass away for fear} {his strong hold: or, his strength}
