Isaiah 31 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Help Not in Egypt but in God

Isa 31:1Wo to those going down to Egypt for help, And on horses lean, And trust on chariots, because many, And on horsemen, because very strong, And have not looked on the Holy One of Israel, And Jehovah have not sought.

Isa 31:2

Isa 31:2And He also is wise, and bringeth in evil, And His words He hath not turned aside, And He hath risen against a house of evil doers, And against the help of workers of iniquity.

Isa 31:3

Isa 31:3And the Egyptians are men, and not God, And their horses are flesh, and not spirit, And Jehovah stretcheth out His hand, And stumbled hath the helper, And fallen hath the helped one, And together all of them are consumed.

Isa 31:4

Isa 31:4For thus said Jehovah unto me: 'As growl doth the lion and the young lion over his prey, Called against whom is a multitude of shepherds, From their voice he is not affrighted, And from their noise he is not humbled; So come down doth Jehovah of Hosts To war on mount Zion, and on her height.

Isa 31:5

Isa 31:5As birds flying, so doth Jehovah of Hosts Cover over Jerusalem, covering and delivering, Passing over, and causing to escape.'

Isa 31:6

Isa 31:6Turn back to Him from whom sons of Israel Have deepened apostacy.

Isa 31:7

Isa 31:7For in that day despise doth each His idols of silver, and his idols of gold, That your hands made to you -- a sin.

Isa 31:8

Isa 31:8And fallen hath Asshur by sword, not of the high, Yea, a sword -- not of the low, doth consume him, And he hath fled for himself from the face of a sword, And his young men become tributary.

Isa 31:9

Isa 31:9And to his rock from fear he passeth on, And affrighted by the ensign have been his princes -- an affirmation of Jehovah, Who hath a light in Zion, And who hath a furnace in Jerusalem!
