Woe H1945 to those who go H3381 down H3381 to Egypt H4714 for help H5833
And rely H8172 on horses H5483,
And trust H982 in chariots H7393 because H3588 they are many H7227
And in horsemen H6571 because H3588 they are H6105 very H3966 mighty H6105,
But they do not regard H8159 at the Holy H6918 One H6918 of Israel H3478, nor H3808 seek H1875 Yahweh H3068!
Now the Egyptians H4714 are men H120 and not God H410,
And their horses H5483 are flesh H1320 and not spirit H7307;
So Yahweh H3068 will stretch H5186 out H5186 His hand H3027,
And he who helps H5826 will stumble H3782,
And he who is helped H5826 will fall H5307,
And all H3605 of them will come H3615 to H3615 an H3615 end H3615 together H3162.
For thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068 to me,
“As the lion H738 or the young H3715 lion H3715 growls H1897 over H5921 its prey H2964,
Against H5921 which H834 a multitude H4393 of shepherds H7462 is called H7121 out H7121,
And it will not be dismayed H2865 at their voice H6963 nor H3808 afflicted H6031 at their noise H1995,
So H3651 will Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635 come H3381 down H3381 to wage H6633 war H6633 on Mount H2022 Zion H6726 and on its hill H1389.”
