Woe
to them that go down
to Egypt
for help;
and stay
on horses,
and trust
in chariots,
because they are many;
and in horsemen,
because they are very
strong;
but they look
not unto the Holy One
of Israel,
neither seek
the LORD!
Yet he also is wise,
and will bring
evil,
and will not call back
his words:
but will arise
against the house
of the evildoers,
and against the help
of them that work
iniquity.
Now the Egyptians
are men,
and not God;
and their horses
flesh,
and not spirit.
When the LORD
shall stretch out
his hand,
both he that helpeth
shall fall,
and he that is holpen
shall fall down,
and they all shall fail
together.
For thus hath the LORD
spoken
unto me, Like as the lion
and the young lion
roaring
on his prey,
when a multitude
of shepherds
is called forth
against him, he will not be afraid
of their voice,
nor abase
himself for the noise
of them: so shall the LORD
of hosts
come down
to fight
for mount
Zion,
and for the hill
thereof.

As birds
flying,
so will the LORD
of hosts
defend
Jerusalem;
defending
also he will deliver
it; and passing over
he will preserve
it.
Turn
ye unto him from whom the children
of Israel
have deeply
revolted.
For in that day
every man
shall cast away
his idols
of silver,
and his idols
of gold,
which your own hands
have made
unto you for a sin.
Then shall the Assyrian
fall
with the sword,
not of a mighty man;
and the sword,
not of a mean man,
shall devour
him: but he shall flee
from
the sword,
and his young men
shall be discomfited.

And he shall pass over
to his strong hold
for fear,
and his princes
shall be afraid
of the ensign,
saith
the LORD,
whose fire
is in Zion,
and his furnace
in Jerusalem.
